Israeli legislators responded to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, who came into force on Tuesday, and potentially closed the 12 -day war. Some Israeli legislators appreciated Israeli military and intelligence successes in Iran and others noted that it is now time to end the Israeli war in Gaza.
What did some Israeli lawmakers say:
Avigdor Lieberman
Avigdor Lieberman, former Minister of Defense and Party Party Yisrael Beitein, warned that “there is nothing more dangerous than leaving the injured lion behind.”
While he praised the Israeli “stunning military achievements”, he warned that “instead of unconditional surrender, the world enters the difficult and exhausting process of negotiations”.
Lieberman expressed concern that the ceasefire could lead to a renewed conflict because the Iranian regime shows no intention to stop Iranian nuclear ambitions, develop ballistic missiles or support terrorism.
He stressed that without a clear and decisive agreement, “a ceasefire without a clear and unambiguous agreement will lead us to a new war… in two or three years, but in much worse conditions for Israel.”
Yair lapid
Yair Lapid, the opposition leader, stressed that “it was now a moment to close this front” in Gaza. He added: “To bring hostages home, ended the war. Israel must start rebuilding.” Lapid called for an urgent focus to resolve the conflict and start the recovery process.
Yair golan
Yair Golan, chairman of the Democrat Party, said the Israeli campaign against Iran “ended with a clear security success”. In the X post he urged that the ceasefire agreement be “carefully explored”, asked: “It will prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and what sanctions, including the restoration of the fight, will be stored if violated.”
Golan also called on the end of the Israeli War in Gaza, emphasized the need “to return all hostages, end the war in Gaza and stop once and for all, which threatens Israel to be weak, divided and vulnerable”.
Bezalel Smotrich
Bezalel Smotrich, a far -right Minister of Finance, said that Israel has achieved a “overwhelming victory in a campaign against Iran, which will be famous on the website of the history of the Israeli state”. Smotrich said that “immediate existential threat” was removed. “Now with all our strength to Gaza,” he said, “destroy Hamas and return our hostage.”
What for gaza now?
The Middle East has been since October 2023, when Hamas Fighters from Gaza entered Israel, killed hundreds and took dozens of more hostages.
Israel responded to the invasion of the Palestinian enclave to uproot Hamas from tunnels and other fortifications that, according to the world health organization, left more than 55,000 people, a lot of Gaza and its population of 2.1 million endangered.
While the attention in the world was in Israeli struggles with Iran, the Israeli forces in Gaza were killed by dozens of people when they tried to get limited food aid in the territory, including 21 on the last day, the Palestinians say.
The group that advocates the return of Israeli hostages held in Gaza called for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran to extend the war enclave.
“Those who can achieve a ceasefire with Iran can also end the war in Gaza,” he said hostages and missing families on Tuesday.
The forum said that the ceasefire “must expand to include gaza” “and called on the government” to engage in urgent negotiations that will bring home all hostages and end the war “.
“After 12 days and nights during which people could not sleep because of Iran, we can finally return to sleep because of hostages,” forum said.
The Israeli leader of the opposition Yair Lapid has repeated these sentiments and wrote in a post on X: “Now Gaza. This is the moment when he closes this front.
