Right-wing commentator Itamar Fleishman said on Channel 14 Wednesday evening that opposition leader Yair Lapid is fueling rising antisemitism worldwide with his statements in foreign interviews, and that he 'helps Nazis.' The segment also cited an archive by journalist Irit Linor showing that Lapid has previously spoken against Israel abroad.
The new criticism of opposition leader Yair Lapid comes after earlier reports that he has continued to make statements defaming Israel in foreign interviews. On Wednesday evening, Channel 14 aired a segment featuring right-wing commentator Itamar Fleishman, who accused Lapid of fueling rising antisemitism worldwide. 'Yair Lapid helps Nazis,' Fleishman said, according to the broadcast. The segment also highlighted an archive compiled by journalist Irit Linor, showing that Lapid has previously spoken against Israel in interviews abroad. The accusations are part of an ongoing political row, with right-wing figures frequently criticizing Lapid for what they see as a failure to defend Israel on the international stage. This is the latest in a series of such criticisms against the opposition leader, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
