Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has condemned the government for failing to free the captives in Gaza while simultaneously dragging the country into an “endless” conflict, Al Jazeera reports.

“All the government offers us is more war, more war, and endless war, which will continue for years until we not only defeat them but also ourselves,” wrote Lapid in a post on X.

“It is our duty to remember that there is another way,” he said. “It is possible to negotiate a captive exchange and bring them back home.”
