Prime Minister Netanyahu wondered why Yair Lapid had not declared himself as the left-wing candidate for prime minister.
''Has anyone seen Yair Lapid? He's hiding. He is hiding because he is trying to hide from the public what everyone knows is the real question in this election: Who will be the next prime minister? Me or him?," explained Netanyahu.
''What are they hiding? After all, Lapid agreed on terms with Gideon, who did so with Bennett, and their whole plan, together with the media, who're constantly reminding us how right-wing Bennett and Gideon are, is to split the right-wing. Why? Because they do not want the Right to win. It's a joke. And yet, they still have no chance of forming a strong, stable government no matter how they spin it. Only the Likud under my leadership can do that," said Netanyahu.
