Yesh Atid chairman MK Yair Lapid on Wednesday evening accused Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas of “mudslinging” and of not behaving as a leader following his speech at the United Nations.

"It was not a speech, it was ugly and false mudslinging by a human being who, instead of being a leader, acting like the last of the inciters,” said Lapid, adding, “Everything he said about the Temple Mount was not true, everything he said about Jerusalem was not true, everything he said about cancelling the agreements with Israel will simply not stand the test of reality.”
