MK Michael Malchieli (Shas) blasted MK Yair Lapid on Sunday following the publication of a Blue and White party video describing the leaders of the haredi parties as extortionists.

"A strong Shas movement in a Netanyahu-led government will stop Lapid from continuing to harm entire sectors whose only sin is that they maintain a haredi lifestyle and are faithful to their ancestral tradition. The people of Israel chose to end the cruel incitement of Lapid’s and threw him to the opposition and so will be, with G-d’s help, in the future as well," said Malchieli.
