27 Dec 2022; MEMO: Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has said that the new Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the weakest ever in Israel's history, Maan news agency reported on Monday.
"This is not a right-wing government," he said. "This is crazy. We will not stand silent."
On Thursday, Lapid also said: "We will fight for the rule of law, we will fight for the rights of women and the LGBT community, we will fight for the values of the IDF, we will fight for the education of our children, we will fight for a tolerant Jewish identity, which is not used as an excuse for discrimination and racism."
He addressed the Israeli people saying: "Be on your guard against a dangerous, extreme, irresponsible government with a weak prime minister who lost control of it even before he was sworn in."
Meanwhile, The Jerusalem Post also reported him telling the Knesset: "I stand here and speak to you out of deep concern for the fate of Israeli society.
"I feel it is my duty to tell the public: the government established here [by Benjamin Netanyahu] is dangerous, extreme, irresponsible. This will end badly."
