In an interview with ynet's podcast "120 Ve'ahat", Yair Lapid discusses the difficulty of dismantling his party Yesh Atid and merging with Naftali Bennett into the "Together" list ahead of next month's elections. Lapid describes the difficult farewell conversations with veteran MKs who will not run again. He addresses the warnings Netanyahu received before October 7, and recounts a meeting a month before the massacre where horrifying intelligence materials were presented, but Netanyahu appeared bored. Lapid claims that Netanyahu saw all the warnings and ignored them, and that on October 7 itself, Netanyahu was disintegrated and did not function. Lapid attacks the government's response to British sanctions, and criticizes Gideon Sa'ar's performance as Foreign Minister, arguing that he is not allowed to handle the central issues.
