Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has said it is time to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that there would be broad support to form a unity government led by Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, Reuters reports.

Centrist Lapid, who served briefly as prime minister last year, said he believed a large majority of the 120 lawmakers in the Knesset, or parliament, would sign on to such a coalition.

“The time has come, we need to establish a national reconstruction government. Likud will lead it, Netanyahu and the extremists will be replaced, and over 90 members of the Knesset will be partners in the coalition for healing and reconnection,” Lapid wrote on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

“I hear those saying this is not the time. We waited 40 days, there was no more time. What we need now is a government that will deal with nothing other than security and the economy,” Lapid wrote on X.
