Lapid's bad bargain endangers Israel to Hezbollah in Lebanon
Benjamin Netanyahu made the case against Yair Lapid making a terrible faustian pact with Lebanon:
Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accused Prime Minister Yair Lapid of bargaining away Israel’s “sovereign territory” in a potential agreement to resolve Israel’s long-running maritime border dispute with Lebanon.I think this says quite a bit more about Lapid's MO, which is dangerous no matter what defense he's mounting here. If he's able to clinch a government next month, that'll be a fiasco.
[...] The Likud chief charged that if the agreement — whose full details have not been made public — is signed, then the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah will be “receiving Israel’s sovereign territory and a gas field worth billions of dollars.”
Alleging that the agreement involves the transfer of sovereign territory, Netanyahu said it should have to be approved by at least 80 Knesset members or in a referendum to be valid. Lapid and the foreign ministry have said that the deal only concerns territory in Israel’s economic sphere, not territorial waters, and therefore does not require Knesset approval or a national referendum.
