Blue and White No. 2 candidate Yair Lapid went to Paris on Friday at the invitation of French president Emmanuel Macron who will meet with him at the Élysée Palace on Friday afternoon.
The two men will discuss the Israeli-Palestinian and Iranian issues and the fight against antisemitism in Europe.
The visit is seen as a counterweight against the invitation that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received from US president Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The international community is sick of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wants the Blue and White Party to form the next government, Lapid told The Jerusalem Post in an interview in Tel Aviv on Sunday.
Lapid has traveled the world and built up strong ties with a variety of world leaders. If Blue and White wins the April 9 general election, he would be foreign minister under Benny Gantz for the first two-and-a-half years and prime minister for the following year and a half as part of the power-sharing agreement they reached when they formed the party.
“Many of the world leaders I am in touch with desperately want Netanyahu to go,” Lapid said. “Bibi has a problem with the Democratic Party, the more moderate Republicans, the majority of US Jews and the European Union – except [for] some Eastern European countries, especially Poland to whom he shamelessly surrendered the memory of the Jews who died there in WWII. He is doing well in some parts of Africa, Latin America and [with] the American president.”
