Senior Blue and White Party member Yair Lapid has attacked the agreements reached between Israel and Islamic Jihad, as part of the ceasefire declared on Thursday morning.
Writing on Twitter, Lapid said, "It will lead to the next round [of fighting." He added, If they credit Jihad with achievements on the firing of 400 rockets, in the next round Hamas will not be able to sit on the sideline," and "Again, nothing has changed." He concluded, "The deterrence does not exist. The residents of the south do not feel safe. The extraordinary intelligence and operational achievement of the (justifiable) elimination of Al-Ata remains an isolated event that does not change awareness."
