Lapid applauds Gantz resignation as 'important and correct'

Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid hails Benny Gantz's exit, saying the "decision to leave the failed government is important and correct".

"The time has come to replace this extreme and reckless government with a sane government that will lead to the return of security to the citizens of Israel, to the return of the abducted, to the restoration of Israel's economy and international status," he added.

ההחלטה של גנץ ואיזנקוט לעזוב את ממשלת הכשלון היא חשובה וצודקת.

הגיע הזמן להחליף את הממשלה הקיצונית והמופקרת הזו בממשלה שפויה שתוביל להחזרת הבטחון לאזרחי ישראל, להשבת החטופים, לשיקום הכלכלה והמעמד הבינלאומי של ישראל.

Translation: Gantz and Eisenkot's decision to leave the failed government is important and correct.

The time has come to replace this extreme and reckless government with a sane government that will lead to the return of security to the citizens of Israel, to the return of the abducted, to the restoration of Israel's economy and international status.
