Ya’alon: Netanyahu trying to use virus outbreak to make Israel a dictatorship
Echoing Lapid, fellow Blue and White MK Moshe Ya’alon accuses Prime Minister Netanyahu of using the coronavirus to neuter Israeli democracy.
“Blue and White will establish as broad an emergency government as possible, even if we start with a narrow government, to save the country. We won’t allow Netanyahu turn Israel into a dictatorship,” Ya’alon, a former member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, tweets.
