MK (Yesh Atid) in his press event announced if an agreement is signed with Iran, the bad agreement that Israel has been protesting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu must resign.
He was in three elections with a promise that he and he along can prevent the deal with the Iranians and therefore, if he fails, then he must accept the consequences.
In another interview with the press, Lapid told VoiceofIsrael.com that he is planning to run for the premiership in the next election. Lapid was speaking to host Dov Lipman, who was a MK in his party in the previous Knesset. Lapid stated that while Yesh Atid lost 8 seats in the elections, he is now confident that his party is stable and will be here for a long time in the future, confident Yesh Atid will grow in the next election.
Many feel that his statement to the press this week about PM Netanyahu resigning mark the unofficial launching of his campaign to become the next prime minister.

anybody but BIBI works for me.
One thing is certain. After the whole army fiasco he created, he won’t get the Chareidi vote, even if he is right about Iran!
Lapid. The mouse that roared a nothing that will destroy Israel
The anybody but mentality is a ticket to disaster. Can anyone say Barak Obama boys and girls.
This just shows what an incompetent fool Lapid is. While I have issues with Netanyahu, he can’t be blamed for not preventing Obama’s stupidity and desire to harm us. No Israeli could have done more.
