Israel must prevent famine in Gaza: Israeli opposition leader

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has said in clear terms, “Israel must prevent famine in Gaza – on the one hand as a reflection of the values of the Jewish people, and on the other hand to not support Hamas’s propaganda.” “If this situation does not change radically, sanctions will be imposed on Israel and Israeli citizens will pay the price,” he warned. “Every Israeli traveling abroad must now fear that they will be attacked,” Lapid added. Lapid’s statement has sparked a heated debate in Israeli politics, with the government responding: “The full blockade will remain in place until the Hamas hostages are released.” The international community is now watching for a possible change in Israeli policy.
