Netanyohu is too smart & shrewd for Lapid’s stupidity, and is awaiting Lapid stomping himself into a real mess.
Netanyohu as well as any smart individual knows full well, that there is no way Israel has the financial resources to keep every army deserter in prison. $50,000 per prisoner per annum is surely not on the budget books, so it simply ain’t going to happen, so Netanyohu knows the adage:- Shesiko leChochom.
Mark my word:- Netanyohu shall be on the political map long after Lapid’s {& Bennett’s} downfall from politics.
