Opposition Leader Yair Lapid calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to establish a so-called “home front cabinet” tasked with “providing a quick and effective response to missile victims, small businesses, protection, and the issue of compensation.”
“The opposition would be happy to appoint a representative on its behalf to facilitate flash legislation or the transfers of compensation if necessary,” he declares.
