Israeli Opposition Urges Emergency Unity Government Amid War with Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered opposition leader Yair Lapid and former defense minister Benny Gantz the opportunity to join an emergency government to manage the ongoing conflict with Hamas. This comes after Israel faced a surprise attack from Hamas, with thousands of rockets fired and militants crossing the border. More than 100 people have been killed, and some Israelis have been kidnapped. Lapid expressed openness to joining the emergency government, emphasizing the need for unity in the face of strategic challenges. Gantz is considering the option, and opposition leaders have expressed support for the government's response to the attack.
