In a satirical video segment published by Srugim on the Hebrew date 8 Tammuz 5786, commentator Ariel Shrer addresses Yair Lapid after his remarks in the Knesset about Aryeh Deri and Deri’s three grandchildren. Lapid praised Deri as a proud grandfather, then criticized the fact that the three grandchildren from the Deri family, described as “deserters,” are subject to arrest warrants.
According to the segment, Lapid said that if he forms a government, those grandchildren will not receive anything from the state. The commentary mocks that line, asking whether this is the legacy Lapid wants for Yesh Atid and suggesting he is echoing the logic of “give, they’ll receive, don’t give, they won’t receive.”
The segment argues that politicians under polling pressure often make mistakes, and warns Lapid not to make promises before elections that he cannot keep afterward. It also says he should not target Deri’s grandchildren while children of his own voters could also be hurt by his “no penny” legislation, and should not look for an easy path to the prime minister’s office. The clip ends by noting the content is satirical and meant in humor only, with no intent to harm.
