Netanyahu spoke in English, Lapid scolded: "Spin invention"/Knesset Channel
Opposition Chairman Yair Lapid said this morning (Tuesday) that all that interests Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is his political career. "His goal is political survival - that's why he is not qualified," he claimed on 103FM. "His consideration is always political , all he cares about is staying in the shed."
Lapid went on to refer to reports of a kidnapping deal taking shape. "We are all sitting in front of the same data and we don't all come to the same conclusions," he said. "We have to go a long way here, we have to do it carefully, but we have to do it .
I thought it was wrong at the time not to come to Cairo, it is true that the Israeli system today is there, in the end it always comes back to Netanyahu's table, and the big question is whether he wants to make a deal or not.
It is being conducted between him and his political advisers unfortunately.
I hope they will come to the right conclusion, every transaction will be backed up."

Lapid said that Hezbollah must be kept away from the northern border - if possible during a diplomatic move.
"Between the residents of the north and the border there will be a back of soldiers, we will not reach a situation where there is no army between the residents of the conflict line in the State of Israel and the borders," he said.
"We are done relying on technological fences, it was a fantasy and is no more. We will need an army that is between the citizens of the State of Israel and our enemy, this is why we will need a bigger and stronger army. This includes removing Hezbollah at least ten kilometers from the northern border. We will achieve this either through political negotiations or war , a political negotiation is better."
"One of the problems that the government outsourced the negotiations, this idea that the government says 'I am not involved in political action, I pass it on to one of the American mediators,' in my eyes is a strange idea," he continued. "Part of the role of a government is to do political action, but There is no one to do political work in this government."
