Lapid to Europe: Your Anti-Semitism is Showing (in the Golan)!

A TV and newspaper personality for most of his career, Lapid heads the Yesh Atid (There is a Future) party. He served as Finance Minister in the previous government under Prime Minister Binyamin Netanayahu, but resigned before the last elections and has been a sworn political enemy of Netanyahu ever since. In fact, half of his famous Bar Ilan speech last night was devoted to attacking Netanyahu's approach to the United States and the Iran deal. He has said that the next elections in Israel will be a choice between him and Netanyahu, while Labor will be irrelevant.

In an under-reported op-ed Lapid wrote last week for TimesofIsrael.com, however, Lapid refrained from attacking Netanyahu. Instead, he concentrated only on the "immoral" and "amateur" decision by the EU to boycott not only Judea and Samaria, but the Golan Heights as well.
