Yair Golan, leader of the centre-left Democrats Party, has urged the government to follow the announced Iran ceasefire by agreeing a truce in Gaza.

“Now is the time to complete the mission: Return all the hostages, end the war in Gaza and stop once and for all the coup that threatens to make Israel weak, divided and vulnerable,” Golan said in a post on X.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid made a similar appeal.

“And now Gaza. It’s time to [finish] there too,” he said in comments carried by The Times of Israel. “Return the hostages, end the war. Israel needs to start rebuilding.”
