Lapid: The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas lays down its weapons.

Opposition leader in the Israeli entity, Yair Lapid, said that the war in Gaza could stop immediately if Hamas decided to lay down its weapons.

"The war can be stopped tomorrow - if Hamas lays down its weapons, then it can stop, and children will not die," Lapid added in a statement on Wednesday, asking, "Why doesn't the world demand that Hamas stop fighting?"

His remarks come amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza for more than eight months, amid growing international calls for a ceasefire and the protection of civilians, especially children, from the consequences of the war.
