Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to publicly acknowledge he made a serious mistake by embracing Uri and turning a blind eye after Uri admitted receiving money from a state that supports terrorism. 'Whoever endangers state security is done with me,' Lapid said.
Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid issued a statement this morning demanding that Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly admit he made a serious mistake in his handling of the Uri case. Lapid's statement, posted on his official the source, refers to an individual named Uri who reportedly admitted to receiving money from a state that supports terrorism. Lapid said Netanyahu 'embraced' Uri and turned a blind eye even after that admission. 'Whoever endangers state security is done with me and will never set foot in my office,' Lapid added. The context of Lapid's statement: recent US political discourse has touched on Netanyahu's decision-making on Iran, as Vice President JD Vance said this week that he made mistakes but remains a 'good partner.' Lapid's remarks appear to be a direct challenge from the opposition, framing the Uri affair as a national security breach that disqualifies the individual from public life.
