Labor Party Chairman Avi Gabbay attacked MK Yair Lapid at a national security conference of Ma'ariv: "I cannot help but relate to the irresponsible statement made by Yair Lapid in an interview this morning. After all, you've formed a fraternal alliance with Bennett and brought the Netanyahu government with you.

"Yair, there's a limit to lies, there's a limit to your zigzags. In 2013 you could have formed a government with the Labor Party and you chose to form a government headed by Netanyahu, and you are planning to recover the votes of the camp now in 2109. I understand you're panicked. You can't get the voices you need to bring from the Right. You gave up on winning so you build on a coalition with Netanyahu. We don't give up. We fight and believe we can win," he added.
