"This has been the perception of Netanyahu and his office all these years - that Hamas is not terrible," Lapid claimed.
Lapid criticized the silence of “spineless” Likud MKs, calling their inaction “a disgrace remembered forever.”
“If Netanyahu knew, he is complicit in one of the most serious security breaches in the law book," Lapid said.
