Netanyahu ‘cannot continue’: Lapid

Published December 26, 2023

The leader of Israel’s opposition Yair Lapid has reiterated his call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, Al Jazeera reports.

“Changing a prime minister in the middle of a war is not good. But the one in office is worse. He cannot continue,” Lapid said, according to Israeli news outlet GLZ Radio.

Lapid refused to join Netanyahu’s war cabinet at the start of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, and has been a constant critic of Netanyahu’s far-right government.
