Likud review
«Lapid wants to hand over parts of the land of Israel to the enemy. Benyamin Netanyahu managed for years to remove the Palestinian issue from the international agenda, and in less than a year Lapid was reporting instead Abu Mazen in the foreground,” argues the party. Critical voices also came from the interim government, which will bring the country to a vote in November: “Lapid only represents itself with this attitude,” warned the interior minister Ayelet shaken, a member of the national religious right. Even the Attorney General Gideon Saar (leader of a new centrist secular formation) said that “a terrorist state in Judea-Samaria (West Bank) threatens our security. Most of the Israeli people and their representatives will prevent this. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also disagrees: “There is no logic in bringing the Palestinian state project back to the surface. We are in the year 2022 and not in the year 1993 (year of the Oslo Accords, editor’s note). Our friends don’t expect us to compromise on our safety and our future either.”
