Lapid: IDF must respond with full force, but diplomacy only way to maintain calm
Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid visited the Gaza-vicinity area and commented on the rocket that slammed into Israel on Saturday, saying "Operation Protective Edge did not end in resolution. The IDF must respond with full force."
Lapid reflected that "(at the time of the fighting in Gaza) we were afraid to go for a diplomatic solution, but it is not too late to embark on the brave process to bring calm to residents of the south." He also slammed the government for over-funding
the settlments, calling the funds "bribes."
