Member of Knesset Yair Lapid, one of the leaders of the Blue and White Party, has criticized Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, a senior Likud MK, who left the plenary hearing dealing with the establishment of the Knesset House Committee, which was boycotted by the right-wing parties.
Lapid said, "Once they are going to lose a procedural vote and they run away. This is no longer a coalition but a body that is only meant to defend defendant Netanyahu."
