‘We’ll pay a high price for that mistake’ — Lapid pans PM’s touting of Mossad op

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid criticizes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s publication of the Mossad’s capture of Iran’s nuclear program archives.

The opposition lawmaker claims that the prime minister’s televised presentation earlier this week was a “a professional mistake.”

“Among the intelligence community, there is nothing less than shock at his decision to publish the intelligence incursion on television,” Lapid says in a statement.

He insists he is not a “Netanyahu hater” and opposed the Iranian nuclear deal, but claims that the prime minister is “making mistakes that he did not make in the past.”
