Ending the war on Gaza is in the best interest of Israel politically, economically and from a security perspective, said opposition leader Yair Lapid on Wednesday. 

However, Lapid added that as long as the current government exists, the war will continue. 

"They don't know how to bring peace, and they don't want to bring peace," he said on social media platform X.

"This government prefers war because it frees it from having to deal with the challenges. It's time to change the government and end the war," he added.
