כבר באוקטובר הצעתי לתקוף את שדות הנפט של איראן. חיסול תעשיית הנפט האיראנית תהרוס את כלכלתה ותפיל בסופו של דבר את המשטר. נתניהו פחד, ועצר את זה.

What changed

In Statement A (April 2025), Lapid claims he personally proposed attacking Iranian oil fields in October, and criticizes Netanyahu for being afraid and stopping the action — implying Netanyahu was wrong not to act on Lapid's proposal. In Statement B (June 2025), Lapid retweets approvingly a headline in which he is quoted saying 'Netanyahu was right: we should have gone to war against Iran,' effectively vindicating Netanyahu's judgment on Iran policy. These two positions are directly incompatible: one portrays Netanyahu as a coward who blocked the right course of action (Lapid's proposal), while the other credits Netanyahu with having been correct about going to war with Iran.
