Opposition leader Yair Lapid said at the beginning of his Yesh Atid faction meeting that he "prays that the Prime Minister's trip will lead to a hostage deal. What we really need is not a partial deal, but to end the war and bring back all the hostages." Lapid also addressed the draft law, claiming that "before Netanyahu boarded the plane, the ultra-Orthodox told him, 'You want a government? There's a price tag: make sure no young ultra-Orthodox man is drafted.' Cabinet member Aryeh Deri and Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee member Yaakov Asher have no problem sending draft orders to soldiers who will go fight and die. With one condition: that their children don't die."
