Likud Mocks Lapid Over Swift Response to Netanyahu Meeting

The political feud between the Likud party and opposition leader Yair Lapid intensified following a late-night meeting between Lapid and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Likud questioned the speed at which Lapid issued a sharp statement criticizing Netanyahu after their discussion, suggesting the response might have been pre-written.

Likud pointed to the tight timeline as evidence for their claim. According to the party, Lapid concluded his meeting with Netanyahu at 11:39 PM. Just two minutes later, at 11:41 PM, a detailed statement from Lapid containing political criticism of Netanyahu was published. Likud argued that this narrow time gap raised questions about whether Lapid's response was formulated before the meeting concluded and without full consideration of the information presented during it.

The party presented two possibilities: either Lapid managed to draft a comprehensive and detailed statement in mere minutes, or the text was already prepared beforehand. Likud concluded their statement with a mocking phrase, "So much for the nightly Lapid," reflecting their sharp political stance against the opposition leader.
