Lapid Calls Netanyahu a ‘Failure, Irresponsible and Afraid’

Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, who until an hour ago was Finance Minister before Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fired him, called said the Prime Minister has failed as a leader.
Shooting the opening gun and setting the tone in what is going to be a nasty, bitter and ugly election campaign, Lapid called Prime Minister Netanyahu "irresponsible and afraid.”
It seems the main issue to be debated in the campaign is which political leader can do the best job at demeaning, disgracing, insulting and libeling the other.
