Israeli opposition leader says ‘Netanyahu not qualified to lead the country’

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called on National Unity ministers Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot and Gideon Sa’ar to leave the coalition, according to Israeli media.

Lapid added that “this government is not qualified to lead the war” and Prime Minister Benjamin “Netanyahu is not qualified to lead the country.”

He said that former opposition lawmakers entered the government following the outbreak of the war, because they believed it was in the best interest of the country, but that is not true now. 

“This is not a unity government, this is not an emergency government. They are not saving the State of Israel, they are saving Netanyahu,” he said.
