Leader of the Opposition Yair Lapid He misses no opportunity to incite and slander the opposing camp. Even moments before the hostages were released, he invented a "pike" and spread incitement about a supposed delay in the release of the hostages due to Sabbath observance.
In a tweet he posted on his Twitter account this morning (Friday), Lapid attacked, against the backdrop of the postponement of the government meeting: "The hostage deal could have been signed in May. If they had done it, Hersh and Eden, Uri and Alex, Almog and Carmel, would now be home, alive. Since May, 122 soldiers have been killed in Gaza. Every day people die and are murdered, but the government postpones its meeting for another day 'because of the Sabbath.'".
The opposition leader later quoted from the Tosefta on Shabbat - and wrote: "If they were truly Jews, they would know that the origin of the expression 'Pikuach Nefesh Docha Shabbat' is from the fact that the Mishnah permits dismantling a pile of stones on Shabbat in order to save a person buried under it. Yes, that's exactly it. A criminal government. A foreskin of the heart.".

Media person Yinon Magal He responded to the lie as if the deal could have been signed in the past: "Despite everything the Americans say, despite the truth, despite the fact that it is clearly a heinous lie, Lapid continues with the blood libel and accuses Netanyahu of murdering hostages. The main thing at the time was that he would go from studio to studio and declare that 'Bibi has no soul'... He who rejects it in Momo rejects it.".
Minister of the Interior Moshe Arbel Attacked the lie spread by Lapid, supposedly the government meeting was postponed 'because of the Sabbath':
""I read Yair Lapid's words of incitement, incitement, and hatred, supposedly 'because of the Sabbath', postponing the government meeting on the issue of the Sabbath of the kidnapped, and that the government is criminal and heartless.
""He went to great lengths to make Lapid and even ordered his party members to amplify and repeat this criminal lie in tweets. Lapid is lying again. Playing with the emotions of the families of the kidnapped.".
He added: "After I inquired carefully, Shas Chairman Rabbi Aryeh Deri insisted on this since yesterday and unequivocally demanded that a government meeting be held immediately after the cabinet meeting, even if it was on Shabbat. However, the legal advice guidelines regarding the need to give 24 hours for the bereaved families to petition the High Court of Justice, excluding Shabbat, are what sparked the challenge, and with God's help we will overcome it as soon as possible.".
Minister Arbel emphasized: "Lapid, this is exactly what a poison machine that spreads lies to incite hatred looks like. Lapid, apologize! This is not shameful!""
also The Kidnappers' Manager The Prime Minister's Office informed the families of the hostages that security assessment discussions headed by the Prime Minister will be held in the coming hours. "The state will publish the names of the terrorists who will be released as part of the deal in order to give the bereaved families who feel harmed by this move the right to petition the High Court." However, "the families were further informed that the issue of holding a government meeting during the Sabbath does not affect the date of the hostages' release.".
Media person Yehuda Schlesinger Attacked Lapid: "There were a lot of nasty discussions in this war, the spin 'not approving a deal because of Shabbat' easily entered the top five. A senior government official explains: 'The cabinet ministers and the government pressed to hold the meeting as early as possible, Shabbat is not a factor in the event at all, we met on Shabbat for things much less important than that. Every minute is a matter of life and death.
""The discussion was legal. The bereaved families who oppose the deal should be given 24 hours to appeal, and Shabbat is not considered an appeal time. In talks with the Attorney General, it was agreed as follows: With the release of the first three women on Sunday, murderers are not being released, only women terrorists. With the Attorney General's approval, 6 hours are given for the appeal. The murderers will only be released from Monday onwards, and thus the 24 hours for the appeal are filled. Government meeting on Saturday, release of the first three women as planned on Sunday afternoon.".
The media person too Yaki Adamkar He attacked the opposition leader: "Lapid is lying. Lapid is again playing with the feelings of the families of the kidnapped. How did he write? A criminal. A heartless man.".
Tamir Morag, Channel 14's political correspondent: "The current fake of the Kaplanist poison machine: The government is not meeting because of the Sabbath and is leaving the hostages in captivity for another day." The truth: This is a legal problem, not a halakhic problem - Shas is generally the one pushing to find any way to convene the government as soon as possible.".
