Yair Lapid claims the Israeli government has lost the support of the public and no longer has the legitimacy to continue its war on Gaza.

“Since time immemorial, there has been one essential condition for Israel’s wars: a majority,” the Israeli opposition leader said in a post on X.

“The state of Israel cannot wage a war if the majority of the public does not stand behind it, does not believe in its objectives, and does not trust the leadership.

“None of these conditions are met now. It is time to end the war and bring back the hostages.”
