“All that is left of “Mr. Teshon” is the loss of Israeli deterrence”

The head of the opposition Yair Lapid today (Monday) referred to the Iranian attack at the Yesh Atid Yeshiva yeshiva. Lapid said that “all that is left of “Mr. Security” is a city of ruins from Bari to Kiryat Shmona, violence by Jewish terrorists who have gotten out of control, and a complete loss of Israeli deterrence. If we don't move this government in time, it will bring ruin on us. She is already bringing. It's election time, now.'

At the beginning of the caucus meeting, Lapid said: “I want to open the caucus meeting with a thank you, from the Israeli Knesset, to the pilots and commanders of the Israeli Air Force, and to the military and strategic umbrella we received from President Biden on Saturday night. They saved the State of Israel from a terrible mass disaster.'

“What the United States did this night is to abide by the agreement. It was a practical realization of the “Jerusalem Declaration”, which I signed with President Biden in July 2022. In this declaration it was said: “The strategic partnership between the United States and Israel is founded on common values, common interests and true friendship… Among the values ​​that the countries share is an unwavering commitment to democracy, to government The law and the call for 'Tikhon Olam'.” He added

“The United States and Israel have an obligation to work together with other partners to confront Iran's aggression and destabilizing activities, whether they are promoted directly or through proxies and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Lapid noted.

“This agreement was hanging in the Israeli cabinet room, alongside previous historical agreements. Netanyahu ordered it taken down from the wall when he returned to the office. The Americans knew this, and they were offended, and they were rightly offended. They realized that Netanyahu has no “unshakable commitment”, neither to democracy nor to relations with them. This government, this prime minister, have become an existential threat to Israel. They crushed the Israeli deterrence. Our enemies look at the government and they smell weakness and raise their heads.'' he said.

“Our friends also smell the same weakness. I was in Washington last week, in meetings with the entire administration. They are shocked by this government: by the lack of responsibility, by the lack of professionalism, by the mismanagement, by the good spoons. The Netanyahu government is weakening Israel. It doesn't have to be that way. The day this government leaves, the State of Israel will be significantly strengthened in all parameters: security, political and economic.” added the head of the opposition.

“I want to remind everyone who is afraid of change these days: we know how to run a country. We did it much better than them, and we will do it much better than them. I don't think anyone has a doubt that we will manage relations with the Americans better. “Instead of destroying, we will go back and build a regional alliance together with them, which will stand up to the Iranian threat and stop Tehran's nuclear program.” clarified Lapid.

He also said that “I don't think anyone has a doubt that we will manage the economy better, because we will manage it for the benefit of the middle class, for the benefit of the productive and working public, for the benefit of the reserves, and not for the benefit of sectors and sectors and political blackmail. I don't think anyone doubts that we will manage security better, simply because it is impossible to manage it worse than Netanyahu is managing it. The man leads us from disaster to disaster. All that's left of “Mr. Teshon” is a village of ruins from Bari to Kiryat Shmona, violence by Jewish terrorists who have gotten out of control, and a complete loss of Israeli deterrence.'

Lapid told Yom that “and the worst thing is, I don't think anyone has any doubt that as long as he is the prime minister he will continue to delay the kidnapping deal.” We will not bring the boys and girls home. Time passes and they die. Dozens of abductees have already died in captivity because the government did not make a deal in time. Our problem is Iran, but our problem is also here. If we don't move this government in time, it will bring ruin on us. She is already bringing. It's election time, now.'
