What changed

In Statement A, Lapid strongly condemns the coalition's boycott of the Supreme Court President's inauguration, calling it a basic lack of respect for the state, its laws, institutions, and traditions — with no conditionality. In Statement B, Lapid himself threatens to boycott a special Knesset session featuring the Supreme Court President if the coalition boycotts that event, using reciprocal boycott as a political lever. This creates a selective omission contradiction: Lapid articulates a universal principle that boycotting the Supreme Court President is shameful and disrespectful, yet he then applies the exact same tactic as a conditional threat. The principle he stated in Statement A as applying to all ('מבזה רק אותם') he implicitly exempts himself from in Statement B under a retaliatory rationale.
