Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a press conference on Saturday night, saying that "Netanyahu is afraid of a debate"
"Tonight I heard all of Netanyahu's excuses why he ran away from the debate I offered him," said Lapid. "Everything is an excuse, he's scared. For three months he put my face on billboards, made videos 'Where is Lapid?'. I then offered to have a debate with him and he disappeared. It's not too late, my offer stands. Come and have a debate."
