Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says he discussed the need for a solution in Gaza, most importantly the release of hostages from Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, in his talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier today.
Lapid, speaking to reporters following the discussion, says a hostage deal is difficult but doable. Israel is also worried about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the need to avoid hurting people in the Palestinian territory, he adds.
