Opposition Leader Yair Lapid cedes time at his Yesh Atid opposition party’s weekly Knesset press conference to a family member of one of the roughly 180 hostages still in Gaza, who pleads to keep hostage releases at the top of the government’s wartime agenda.

“We have to remember that we have to continue speaking about the hostages until the last one of them has returned home,” including soldiers, Udi Goren says.

“Don’t let this subject go, even for a minute, because time is a critical element here,” he adds.
