Lapid demands deal on Israeli captives ‘before they all die’ in Gaza
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has renewed his call for an agreement for a Gaza truce and the release of captives in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Lapid expressed concern in a Tuesday posting on X, stating that more captives are being lost as time passes.
He also pointed the finger at Benjamin Netanyahu. Lapid censured the rhetoric employed by Netanyahu and his ministers, saying they were sabotaging prospects of any deal.
“Enough with the briefings, enough with the tweets, enough with the rhymes in front of cameras,” he wrote on X.
“All of Netanyahu’s attempts to sabotage the negotiations should stop. Deal now, before they all die.”
Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli military announced the recovery of the bodies of six captives who had been held since October 7, 2023.
The newspaper Israel Hayom reported that Israel was conducting examinations on the bodies of the six to determine if they were possibly killed by Israeli fire.
According to the Israeli military, identification procedures and medical examinations are expected to provide insights into the circumstances of their death.
The families of the Israeli captives hold the regime responsible for their death in Gaza.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has repeatedly said it would release the remaining Israeli captives in exchange for a complete cessation of Israel’s barbaric campaign of death, destruction and genocide.
Hamas has conditioned their release on the return of the displaced Palestinians, and an end to the siege Israel has imposed on Gaza.
