Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has extended an offer to safeguard Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government from potential collapse amid threats of resignation by far-right ministers over a potential ceasefire-hostage agreement in Gaza, as per a source close to Lapid.
Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir has issued a warning to resign if a Gaza deal is finalized and has called on fellow far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich to follow suit, a move that could lead to the downfall of Netanyahu's coalition.
The source revealed, 'Lapid is prepared to provide a safety net to Netanyahu to prevent his government from crumbling post a deal, for a mutually agreed duration. This essentially eliminates any hindrance to reaching an agreement.'
