The Likud Party has responded to Yair Lapid's criticism of Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer, according to Channel 13 News.

A Likud statement said, "Israel has not had a better ambassador in Washington than Ron Dermer. His contribution to Israel is enormous. Lapid is the one who claimed that we should not oppose the nuclear agreement and that we destroyed relations with the United States. It is good that Lapid does not decide who will be the ambassador in the United States."
