Lapid: 'Netanyahu is dragging the country down'

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a campaign event on Tuesday.

"Yesterday we got the final proof that someone suspected of serious crimes cannot be Prime Minister. It wasn’t a dramatic announcement, it was a hysterical announcement. I’ve known Bibi for years, he’s cracking under the pressure and dragging the country down," Lapid said. "We have a great country, something both Netanyahu and I agree upon, but a terrible government. And it is time to change the government before they ruin the country."
