Israeli Opposition Leader Backs Government's Strategy in Gaza
(Politico) Alexander Burns - In a series of phone calls with American lawmakers since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, Israeli opposition leader and former prime minister Yair Lapid has conveyed resolute support for the government's strategy in Gaza. There has been no second-guessing of the war cabinet. "He wanted to make clear that there was real unanimity of purpose when it comes to the campaign in Gaza," said Senator Chris Murphy, a top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "He was delivering a message about the imperative of defeating Hamas."
