Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOpposition leader Yair Lapid meets with relatives of Israelis being held captive in Hamas-ruled Gaza by Palestinian terrorists.
Lapid tells the families that in a recent meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he stressed “the opposition will back any step, any deal, however far-reaching it may be. The important thing is that the hostages return.”
“There is no price too expensive. [The captives] need to come back and it’s our duty to bring them back,” adds Lapid in a post on X.
He also pledges to be upfront with the families.
“We will not conceal information from you, even if it’s difficult. You are grownups and citizens, and you deserve to know the truth,” he says.
