Member of Knesset Yair Lapid (White and Blue) has taken issue with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's live broadcast on Facebook on upgrading the significant relations with the United States. Writing on Twitter, Lapid said, "After you destroyed relations with the Democrats and with American Jewry, it's time you realized that [the] America you know is no longer the United States of America. Do not worry your heart. We'll get along with President Trump just as well as you."
Lapid also said, "There has never been an ambassador who has done more harm to US-Israeli relations than Ron Dermer. I call on the Civil Service Commission not to approve the extension of his appointment."
