Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says his Yesh Atid party gives its “backing” to the hostages for a ceasefire and prisoners deal approved by Israel’s cabinet early this morning.
Acknowledging that close to 200 hostages will remain in Gaza under the deal terms, Lapid writes on X that “the State of Israel has a supreme obligation to continue to work to return all the hostages home, until the last one.”
