Israeli opposition leader Lapid offers 'safety net' to Netanyahu
16 January 2025 19:51 GMT
With the threat of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir's resignation if Israel's security cabinet approves the Gaza ceasefire deal, opposition leader Yair Lapid said on Thursday he is ready to prop up Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
"I say to Benjamin Netanyahu, don't be afraid or intimidated, you will get every safety net you need to make the hostage deal. This is more important than any disagreement we've ever had," Lapid said in a post on X.
אני אומר לבנימין נתניהו, אל תרא ואל תחת, תקבל כל רשת בטחון שתזדקק לה כדי לעשות את עסקת החטופים. זה חשוב יותר מכל חילוקי הדיעות שהיו בינינו אי פעם
