"Lapid's Willingness to Join Emergency Government and Replace Extremist Ministers"

Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition party Yesh Atid, is willing to join Netanyahu's government to facilitate a deal for the release of 136 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, on the condition that far-right parties Otzma Yehudit and Religious Zionist Party leave the government in opposition. This move comes amid tensions within the government over the proposed hostage deal, with Ben-Gvir threatening to leave if it proceeds. Lapid emphasizes the urgency of reaching a deal to bring the hostages home, while the Likud accuses him of prioritizing politics over achieving victory in the conflict.
