Smotrich: 'Chabad is polar opposite of Yair Lapid'

Responding Friday to Yesh Atid chair MK Yair Lapid's threat to Chabad, MK Bezalel Smotrich said: "This is the whole difference between Chabad and Lapid, in one threat." "The Chabad movement is careful not to identify itself politically, it loves and helps every Jew, no matter who he is, without any conditions and without any political requirements. It's the polar opposite of Yair Lapid. "I am sure that in Chabad, they will continue to love Lapid, to bring him closer, and to host him happily, even after this threat. Because that's what Chabad-Lubavitchers are like, for over 200 years."
