“Torch goes on my head, but may he have success,” Ganz said on 103FM. The Defense Minister referred to Lapid’s new strategy of recent days, which includes attacks against parties from the center-left bloc to which Lapid himself belongs. “When I was the big blue and white head, I made sure to ensure that Meretz and work would pass. He makes a bitter mistake when he goes over the head of blue and white. He avenges me personally. Trying to eliminate me politically.”
Shas chairman, Minister Aryeh Deri, also attacked Lapid and said in an interview here Monday: “He despises us, he hates us, he does not want us. You heard from him one word of reservation about the things Lieberman said about throwing the ultra-Orthodox in the landfill. ? “.

Lapid also stuck to his new strategy yesterday and continued to attack the small parties. Chairman Yesh Atid said: “It is impossible to change government without a big ruling party. It is impossible to form a government without a large party that will form a government. “

He added: “There are still an extraordinary number of undecided people, more than ten seats. They need to know that if they do not vote for a future, a dark, racist, homophobic and extortionate government will be formed here. In the end it takes a lot of power to change reality. “Religious coercion. Six seats do not change the law of nationality and do not protect the Supreme Court. And most importantly – six seats do not replace Netanyahu.”
