 to dismantle the democratic conditions of the country and also a drug student who's not studying mathematics in English, a Yishiva student who's not drafting to the army will get more money than the soldier. The government will only fund the ultra-orthodox sector. This is garage sale of the Israeli democracy. Ministers will nominate will nominate people to sit in cabinets. The defense minister will lose control over the West Bank and it's unclear who's responsible for what. This is a recipe for a disaster. Show me one country around the world, one country where the person who is in charge of the police is a convicted felon with convictions and other criminal charges. They're dismantling the education ministry. Avi Maud, a man who's obtaining blacklist of LGBT community individuals, he will be in charge. Young parents will not be able to send their children to school in a quiet hearted mind. They're handling a coup, again, the secular. The government will not be able to be on the same page with the international community of the Iranian nuclear deal. It's the first government in the history of the country that the U.S. is not seeing its closest ally. It's their ability now to harm the economy. The sheets of the industry are all warning. The government is encouraging people not to have tours. It will suck the market, the industry, the free market. Because of living, we'll just go up. It's in their ability now to undermine and damage whole juries. American juries will no longer see Israel as their second home. Changing the conversion bill will stop the blessed ally from Russia, the immigration from Russia. And now they're also trying to shut the opposition. They're telling us agree or accept the election results. When we won the election, they changed children of lawmakers to synagogue. They carried out a counter-compane of poison against our lawmakers, the coalition members. But we will not do those things. We will fight over the character of a country, no matter what. We will send our they want us to pay taxes and send our children to the army and be silent. This will not happen. This opposition will not get orders from the government what it can or cannot do. We will fight over the rule of law. We will fight for women and LGBT rights. We will fight for IDF soldiers. We will fight for a tolerant Jewish identity that is not an excuse for racism and discrimination. I call upon the citizens of Israel. You have lost nowadays to be involved citizens who are not staying quiet, who are not staying silent, who are obeying the law, protecting the law. But remember that you have rights and you're not going to give them up. This is an extremist, dangerous government with a weak prime minister who loves control over it even before its establishment. We are leading this battle, this fight. We're not going anywhere. We're fighting for our country. We're fighting for our beloved country. Thank you. Mr. Prime Minister, you're describing a nightmarish government. Two questions. Don't you have a responsibility for boycotting, consistently, Benjamin Netanyahu? Don't you have a responsibility for the formation of this government? Second question, you're talking about leading the battle. The opposition is so fragmented where the leaders so much in this agreement. How can they do it? This government is the government that's going to promise this vote. The Likud voters are looking at it and saying, you know what, this is all what we want. We didn't think this is what will happen. We didn't think the Likud will be a minor member of the government. So questions about the coalition divert your questions to those who are establishing it. And for the opposition, we will work together. The leaders of the opposition will work together. We're planning all our steps together and we'll continue to fight together for the dangerous movement with the defending government. Well, we just heard outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid giving what could be his last national address as Premier. I would even describe it maybe as his first speech as head of the opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu's incoming government. It was a blistering attack on that government from basically every angle describing, of course, how the opposition is going to fight against it. With me in studio to break it down. We have Yareev Oppenheimer, Project Director of the Two-State Coalition Geneva Initiative. He's a former member of the Merit's Executive Committee. And also joining us from Jerusalem is Yehuda Glick, former Israeli parliament member from Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. And Yehuda, I'm going to let you go first. Outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid said this new government is a garage sale of Israeli democracy. It's going to weaken the military, weaken the economy, weaken Israel's ties with the U.S., with world jury, quote, a recipe for disaster. Your response to that? First of all, Shalom to you and to my dear friend Yareev Oppenheimer. I'm very happy to be here on I-24. And I want to say that Mr. Lapid gave his first speech as the leader of the opposition, and he did what he's supposed to do. He's supposed to attack the government and criticize it as bitterly as possible. But the facts are that the government that is being established is the government that was elected by the mass majority of the people of Israel. And as a matter of fact, if many of the parties that are decided to be in the opposition have an open door to join the coalition, they decided to ban the mass majority of the people of Israel. So they chose to be in the opposition. The opposition is very easy to yell and scream and criticize. In the coalition and the government, you have to do. And I hope this government finally, after three years of a long election campaign, will finally function. Right. But I'm asking you if you think his points about the government will legitimate or not. Look, when he tries to delegitimize the government, he's wrong. When he wants to criticize the government, that's what he's supposed to do. And I can say many of the things he may have said I can agree partly. But I think the government has a majority and they have a right to lead the majority. I think Benjamin Netanyahu right now has a sole support from every one of his partners. All right, Yareed, your response both to what outgoing Premier Lepid said in Yudah Yudah's perspective. I have to tell you honestly that I think Lepid was too polite. I think the situation is much worse than what Lepid said. We see now the agreement between the Likud party and the other parties. We see death penalty. We see opening the door to racist parties to run in the Israeli election. Things that we never thought will be part of the political climate in this country. And this is not just a governing. This is changing the rules of the game. This is changing Israel from democracy to post-democracy. This is creating a new system that is undemocratic. Look what they are trying to do and what they are aiming to do to the Supreme Court. To make it impossible to Israelis to come and to say the majority is taking the right of the minority. This is the role of the Supreme Court and they are trying to weaken it and to make it actually without any ability to be effective. So in democracy, it's election, it's the rule of the, it's the majority count, but it's also the right of the minority. You cannot use the votes of the majority in order to take the rights from the minority. And this is what we are talking about. We are talking about gay rights. We are talking about women rights. We are talking about the Palestinians. We are talking about refugees. Today it was exposed again that refugees can be locked in jail without trial. Something that no democratic country can do. So every few hours, we are getting new promises that Netanyahu made to his partners that are totally not part of a democratic regime. So this is almost a coup against democracy. I want to have you to respond. I just want to ask you about how you feel about the description of this government as extremist, which is a term that's been used by some to describe yourself, Yoda. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I can hear the hysterical response of my dear friend, Yarev Oppenheimer, and I truly recommend to him to change his perspective. And if nobody moved your cheese, nobody stole your government. The government is now leading by its principles. And the fact that for so many years, so many people on the left think it's impossible that anybody has different opinions of their own is against democracy. And everybody thinks differently. Are you in favor of that penalty in Israel? Do you like to see electric chairs in the Israeli jail? This is something that you support because this is part of the agreement. Are you in favor of taking down the bill that is saying that the racist party cannot run for the election? Are you in favor that racist party will be able to run in the election? This is something that was published. Don't talk about slogans. Talks about these consequences. I will answer directly to those two questions. I would prefer to live in a country where there's no death penalty. But I would also prefer to live in a country where people don't shoot with machine guns at buses and at restaurants. And when they're talking about death penalty, they're talking about something very, very, very serious. The United States has death penalty, which I don't like, and they use it very openly. But if in Israel we don't use, that's where you're reaching the point where you're taking things to the wrong point. And the same thing happens with the other question asked me. I don't want this country to be a racist country. But when you see the Supreme Court, again and again, allows racist parties from the Palestinian parties who are totally racist to run. They're not racist. They're not against Jews. Show me one quote of these people against Jews. And I can show you many, plenty of quotas about Palestinians and Arabs. Yeah, really? Like you was not saying it right? Like you would have finished this point. Yeah, I have a right to speak even though I'm from the right. And the right are always right in the left or just to the left. What can I do? That's what we have left. But let me tell you, Yarev, again, when the Supreme Court uses again and again, the law against racism only on one direction, it means that this law is not doing what it's supposed to be doing. So let me take to say very simple. You, Yarev, and many of your friends who have wrongly used the Supreme Court and turned it into a political tool are the ones who weakened the Supreme Court. And today, when the right wing government wants to strengthen the Supreme Court and put limitations and say the Supreme Court should use and be a Supreme Court and not be a political court, this is what I want to see. The Supreme Court is a political court because it makes a political decision. And the reason why we have a Supreme Court is to limit the power of the majority. The Supreme Court doesn't supposed to be a popular thing because it's going to, if it's strong and it's doing a job, it needs to be against the will of the majority. It needs to represent the minority. This is why I think we don't use enough the Supreme Court until today. And what they are trying to do is to make it even weaker and to make it impossible for the minority to protect itself. So tomorrow morning, you'd agree and say that everything is nice and he loves everyone, but eventually the government that he support, and I'm not supporting, is trying to silent and to make it almost impossible to speak. They are already talking about new laws that will limit the freedom of speech, the limit, the freedom of NGOs to act in Israel. It's exactly like a non-democratic party. This is a co-against democratic regime. And I thought, maybe I'm naive, that people like you, like you, the Gleek will say, we went too far. This is too far, Netanyahu, come back to be a national leader and not a fascist. Yeah, Reeve Oppenheim. Yehuda, I want to give you a chance to respond. We have to go to a break. Please stay with us, but we'll come back and you will have a chance to respond to you, Reeve. And also still to come on the rundown.
