MK Yair Lapid, a senior of white and white, was interviewed on Sunday by Udi Segal on Channel 13 and addressed his statement on the need for a Jewish majority, even if it did not include 61 Knesset members. "I was wrong, I should not have said that." To say that "you need a majority of Zionist parties who believe in the idea of ​​a Jewish and democratic state. Not on a religious basis. "

As mentioned, in an interview on Thursday night, Lapid told Channel 12 that they lacked individual mandates to form a government with a Jewish majority.

Regarding security tensions, Lapid said that blue and white would support outsiders in the event that a military operation was implemented and that this was a legitimate move. "We've been talking for a long time, me and every blue-white tiger, about losing the deterrent in the south, here's the proof. The deterrence we only achieve by force. I'm all for avoiding wars, but sometimes you can't avoid it."

Regarding the Fifth Dimension affair, about which Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz said there was a "political aroma," Lapid claimed: "Likud ministers are taking advantage of their position to push a political inquiry. We have dumped Dupi in Amir Ohana and Gilad Arden, people trying to deflect the system against a political opponent. "

Lapid noted that Gantz was not suspicious of the fifth-dimension affair. "There is no such thing. Investigates something that Benny Gantz is not suspicious of. Likud ministers are trying to cast mud on a straight and honest man," he stressed. "Trying to impeach and doubt two IDF chiefs for political reasons of a desperate man trying to evade the terror." He said it was all meant to forget the fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial will begin on March 17.

Regarding the recording storm from the Harpaz affair, Yair Lapid responded: "If they publish (all) Ashkenazi recordings, the chief of staff will not be able to exchange a word with any champion or any head of an institution or any Shin Bet chief. This is a danger to the state and security."
