Unless he is simply setting up Israel for a huge trap.
I am worried about this. But so far he's done some good things.
But it also seems to me like the Israeli establishment is trying to put Lapid in power just at the point where you have an American administration that would be fine with very little restraint from the Israelis in terms of anti-terror measures and settlement activity.
I am guessing because just as bibi was pressured by Obama from the left and caved, he would also cave to "pressure" from Trump to do those bad things the left hates. He's a pushover to the Americans. Lapid and the lefties have their twisted moral principles (anti-settler anti-Jewish) they will stand on.
