Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to finalise a Gaza ceasefire agreement today. 

Speaking at a State Control Committee hearing in the Israeli parliament, Lapid reiterated his offer to support Netanyahu's governing coalition if far-right ministers quit over the deal.

Lapid stated the government should "send a delegation to Cairo today to finalise the final details and bring home the men, young women, elderly and soldiers imprisoned in the tunnels," according to Israeli media.
