Yair Lapid, one of the leaders of the Blue and White Party, has responded to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's criticism of the anti-haredi video released by the party, saying, "It's indescribable, Netanyahu, the biggest inciter in Israeli history, is attacking me for a joke on Whatsapp.

Writing on Twitter, Lapid continued, "Hey Bibi, should I start pulling out your quotes, the venom and animosity you've been pouring into Israeli society for years? Besides, the joke is about the billions you transferred to the haredi wheeler-dealers, which means it wasn't at their expense at all. It was at our expense."
