The leader of the opposition in the Israeli occupation entity, Yair Lapid, said that Netanyahu is a coward, not a victim, and every soldier in Gaza is exposed to a much greater danger than he is talking about.

Lapid added in press statements on Monday that Netanyahu, who created an incitement machine that slowly controls all media outlets in Israel, is now complaining of incitement against him.

Earlier, the Minister of Finance in the Israeli occupation government, Bezalel Smotrich, attacked the exchange deal, threatening to withdraw from the government.

Smotrich said in his statements on Monday: “I will not sign any deal to release a prisoner, even if it comes at the expense of ending my political career,” noting that “this is a red line that cannot be undone.”

Smotrich pointed out that the security services in the occupation entity "decided to move toward an illegal deal for any price," he said.

He continued: "The release of the prisoners is a terrible and terrible event. We saw what happened after the Gabriel deal and the Shalit deal. Yahya Sinwar was released and they saw what he did and what is happening," he said.
