Opposition Leader Yair Lapid reaffirmed his commitment to providing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with a political safety net to advance a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas. The offer comes after National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir threatened to quit the government if the agreement is approved.

“I say to Benjamin Netanyahu, don�t be afraid or intimidated. You will get every safety net you need to make the hostage deal,” Lapid wrote.

“This is more important than any disagreement we�ve ever had,” he added.

The proposed agreement, announced yesterday, has sparked tensions within Netanyahu�s coalition, with Itamar Ben-Gvir threatening to resign.
