Additional budget bill for fiscal year 2023/Knesset channel
"Netanyahu is leading us from disaster to disaster. It is better that an alternative government be formed without Netanyahu, and if not, then go to the elections," says opposition leader Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid) to Maariv. According
to him, "Netanyahu is already 74 years old, but what bothers me is not his age, but that he is already unfit.
This is not the Netanyahu of the beginning.
He should have gone home a long time ago.
If you can't be the prime minister's driver, his security guard or even a tea server if there is an indictment against you, then how can you be prime minister?"
Lapid is in a difficult dilemma these days. On the one hand, he must show statesmanship and give Netanyahu a safety net when he The episode dealt with the release of the kidnapped. On the other hand, as the opposition chairman, he must attack: "For Netanyahu, the country will burn, the main thing is that he stays in power."
According to him, "The fact that I speak loudly about the need to replace the government and say that Bibi is not qualified speaks for itself. This is not an easy statement. As long as he is in office, it is impossible to achieve the goals when he is not ready to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip.
"When he is in office, we will not restore the economy and we cannot to lead international agreements.
In the quarter after Tzuk Eitan there was exceptional growth and we led the country.
All these things can be done without Netanyahu."
In response to the question of whether he thinks the current government will not survive 2024, he answers: "Yes.
This government will not survive 2024. We are all still in some kind of shock and pain.
The government under whose watch the greatest disaster since the Holocaust happened will go home this year."

Lapid explains his opposition to the 2024 budget: "In this budget, there is NIS 35 million intended for non-profit organizations to prevent ultra-Orthodox recruitment into the IDF when it comes to wartime with people in the reserves for more than 100 days.
Does this seem normal to you?
How can you say it's a war budget when there are 10 unnecessary ministries and coalition funds.
"It's a looting and disgraceful budget. We published an aid plan for reservists and, unlike Smotrich, we also showed the budgetary sources for all the money and not just NIS 3 billion. Smotrich's aid plan is a fantasy on the level of a cartoon."
Lapid says that upon his return to office he will work to reduce the number of government ministries to 18, a move he was prevented from doing in the change government.
"We will commit to 18 ministries because we don't need more. I wanted to do it but the election results prevented it."
According to him, "The initiative to extend the term of the prime minister to two terms fell in the meeting after Naftali Bennett was absent because he was accompanying Angela Merkel. Two terms is more than enough time and I will support any legislative initiative to change the situation.
"A term of more than two terms leads to a situation of disconnection from the field, hubris and corruption as you can see At Netanyahu's.
This is a very important law that I will advance in the Knesset.
The Americans are right in limiting the presidency to two terms."

Lapid emphasizes that "everyone must understand that after the war in Gaza we are in a completely different situation. Likud people are good at talking about the needs of the war, but this is a looting budget, which is a hard word. There is an all-time record in funding yeshiva students who do not enlist and in funding schools without core studies."
In response to the question of whether he would have resigned if Black Sabbath had taken place on his shift, he replied: "Of course it would. I would immediately put down the letter of resignation and let the political system organize itself and vacate my office within 3 months at the most. It is clear that it is impossible to remain in office after the greatest disaster that has befallen the country Since the holocaust, not even one second.
"But I really think a lot about what would have happened if the disaster had happened on our watch.
With all modesty, in my opinion, this would not have happened because in the government of change we were busy from morning to evening with security threats."
