Opposition leader Yair Lapid spoke during a 40-signature debate in the Knesset in the presence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attacking him over the inclusion of Qatar and Turkey in the "Executive Council for Gaza" as part of the "Peace Council." According to Lapid, "President Trump published over your head the composition of the 'governing committee' for Gaza. Hamas's hosts in Istanbul and Doha, the ideological partners of Hamas, were invited to manage Gaza." Regarding the Palestinian "technocrat government," Lapid said, "You are trying to blur this, but the dominant factor in the committee is the Palestinian Authority."
