Lapid Warns: If War Continues, World Will Close Its Doors to Israel
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr news Agency and Qatar’s Al Jazeera network, Yair Lapid, leader of Israel’s opposition, condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet. He stated that israel is facing a strategic defeat that will lead to military and political failure.
Lapid warned: “If the war in Gaza continues, not only will Israeli captives remain unreturned, but Israel will lose more soldiers. The humanitarian disaster will deepen and the world will close its doors to Israel and Israelis.”
He stressed: “If Netanyahu stops the war, we gain two outcomes: we bring our captives home and end a war with no future.”
Referencing Netanyahu’s ongoing prosecution by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes, Lapid said the prime minister’s goverment can no longer justify continued soldier casualties in Gaza.
He called for an end to hostilities through a comprehensive agreement and full release of all Israeli prisoners. Lapid insisted: “Israel has been defeated in Gaza. This is not a complete victory but an outright disaster-a strategic failure destined to result in military and political collapse.”
Concluding, he noted that military operations in Gaza have spiraled out of control. “We have occupied Khan Yunis for the fourth time and Jabalia for the third time,” Lapid said. “But after each occupation, Hamas quickly returns, regains control over roads and homes, waiting for us to come back.”
