Foreign Minister Gideon Saar launched a sharp attack on Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, responding to Lapid's claim that Israel is just two seats away from defeating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Saar criticized Lapid's past statements regarding the war in Gaza, specifically mentioning Lapid's alleged claims of genocide and the deaths of 12.3 million children due to bombings.
Saar also referenced Lapid's alignment with Brazilian President Lula's rhetoric, which accused Israel of genocide and compared its actions to the Holocaust. Saar quoted Lapid as parrot-like repeating Lula's narrative about national pride and refusing external dictates.
Furthermore, Saar pointed to the stance of Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who had promised to move his country's embassy to Jerusalem if elected. Bolsonaro later questioned election results due to claims of illegal extensions of voting hours. Saar also mentioned Serbian President Vučić, questioning Lapid's understanding of Vučić's support for Israel during the war.
Saar accused Lapid of turning his back on Israel's friends and flattering those acting against the country, calling it a sign of moral degradation and low political thinking. He advised the public to distance themselves from Lapid's party, referring to their ballot as that of 'clowns'.
