In a recorded message from Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid declares that the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar “cannot be the end of the story for the hostages, but the way to free them.”
“The Israeli government should now offer a lot of money and safe passage to anyone who will deliver the hostages into our hands and go for an overall deal, not in stages, to return them home,” he states.
