The party claimed that Lapid issued a political statement attacking Netanyahu just minutes after the meeting ended.</p><p>“He left the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu at 11:39 p.m. At 11:41 p.m., just two minutes later, at record speed, he issued a lengthy statement that was entirely a political attack on the Prime Minister,” Likud said. “Either he writes at the speed of light, or the statement was prepared in advance and had nothing to do with the briefing he received. So much for the late-night Lapid.”</p> | Read More in News from Israel
