Lapid: “You have to be careful of traps, talking without stopping the legislation is a fraud”
First, Netanyahu referred to Iran and said that “I held a number of meetings on the issue of Iran, there are issues that have been brought up that have not been dealt with recently. We will do everything necessary to prevent Iran from harming the State of Israel. There is a terrorist regime here that is developing weapons to destroy us, the right of defense Ours is fundamental. We delayed Iran for almost a decade, but it cannot be stopped unless we have a deterrent military threat. I lead this line against the US and Europe.”
He then addressed the protests against the reform in the judicial system: “There is a very serious deterioration here and a systematic intimidation that I don’t remember like with regard to the protests. People do not know what the reform is about and are sure that it will be the end of democracy. At the moment there is no balance between the three authorities. The great majority of the protesters do not know what it is about The reform, the small part that knows, engages in fraud and scares the public.”

“Even around the world, some critics do not know what the reform contains, and there are people who get carried away by what they say,” he added, “there is a misrepresentation here, there is an extremism here that we did not recognize, the opposition does not accept the fact that we won the elections and not them. I think there is a danger in calls for refusal Big. At the time of disengagement, there was a big attack on this idea of refusal, but the national camp never thought of such a thing, so there was no problem.”
In his words, the Prime Minister attacked the opposition leader Lapid regarding the negotiations and said that “Yair Lapid is probably striving for anarchy, if the opposition wanted to change one detail or another then they enter into negotiations, but they refuse and this is not surprising.”
Finally, he was asked about the wave of terrorism and he replied: “It is impossible to prevent terrorist organizations from acting because they are not careful in the face of us. However, in the face of individual threats it is much more difficult. We will come to an end with everyone, no one will escape, their environment will also be harmed and we have passed some laws that will help For that, like the law on deporting families of terrorists.”
