A short time after President Isaac Herzog granted the mandate to form a government to Prime Minister-elect Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday, Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party issued a statement saying that “it’s a black day for democracy.”
“A black day for Israeli democracy in which the prime minister-designate blackmailed his partners, whose entire goal is to extricate him from his legal sentence and bring the State of Israel backwards,” Yesh Atid stated.
“We will never give up our country and liberal values ??and we will not allow our children’s future to be harmed – we’ll wage a united battle in the Knesset and on the streets until we replace the government of destruction with the government of change,” the beleaguered party asserted.
Only 28 Knesset members, the members of the Yesh Atid and Labor parties, recommended Yair Lapid as a candidate to form a government, with the National Unity, Yisrael Beiteinu and Arab parties opting not to recommend any candidate to form a government.

Lapid is an idiot looking to give up Israel’s true values as a Jewish state.
Lapid should run for leader if Iran or North Korea. I’m sure Israel’s majority will offer to pay for him one way airline ticket.
This wicked lapid is guilty of treason:- he needs to be prosecuted immediately, for having slandered. democracy.
If anything, his heinous coalition with wicked bennett was a threat to democracy. This coalition with Bibi Netanyahu is most amazing & best thing that can befall Israel democracy. ???? ??? ????? ?? ????
I do see his point! In his brain, if Bennet was Prime Minister with only 6 or 7 mandates , why can’t I with 4 times as many?
Weird guy!
Of course. “K’mo B’America”. Democracy is in danger if the right goes out to vote.
That’s some pompous and petulant narcissist
?we?ll wage a united battle in the Knesset and on the streets until we replace the government of destruction with the government of change?
I always find it amazing , how in the eyes of a leftist, actively working against the elected government is pro-democracy.
Garbage. Take his citizenship away.
just a bit ?self-serving??
Lapid should be quit. he is a leftist a hater of religious people telling everbody he wants to work and with all the people in israel,what a liar another amalek
Yair Lapid?s Yesh Atid party issued a statement saying that ?it?s a black day for democracy.?
A black day? What a Racist!!!
Well, we didn’t expect Lapid to say anything nice about Bibi, but he always is on the side of “demoncracy” at least what he thinks is democracy, meaning they way he thinks is democracy but not the way the people vote.
SICK
Just remember these people tried to have you killed in a genetics experiment, and now they’re playing roles bickering over the democracy.
