Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said that the Gaza war no longer has the majority support of the Israeli public, so it is time to stop the war. He wrote on social media, \u201cThere was a basic condition in every Israeli war \u2014 a majority. If the majority of the people do not support the war, do not believe in its goals, or do not trust the leadership, then that war cannot be waged.\u201d He added, \u201cNone of these three are present anymore. So it is time to end the war and return the hostages.\u201d Lapid\u2019s statement indicates that political and public divisions are growing in Israeli society over the Gaza war. On Tuesday (July 29), he said, \u201cIsrael must prevent a famine in Gaza \u2013 on the one hand, as a reflection of the values of the Jewish people, and on the other, to not support Hamas\u2019s propaganda.\u201d He warned, \u201cIf this situation does not change radically, sanctions will be imposed on Israel and Israeli citizens will pay the price.\u201d Lapid added, \u201cEvery Israeli traveling abroad must now fear that they will be attacked.\u201d Lapid\u2019s statement sparked a heated debate in Israeli politics, with the government responding: \u201cThe full blockade will remain in place until the Hamas hostages are released.\u201d The international community is now watching for a possible change in Israeli policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
