Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid declared Monday that the Israeli occupation's military, political, and internal strength is "fracturing and collapsing."

Speaking in the Knesset, Lapid emphasized that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is aware of this reality and fears it, which is why he is "preventing the formation of an official investigation committee."

Lapid did not hold back in his criticism, asserting that "Netanyahu is not a victim, but a coward and a failure," adding that the premier "cares only about himself and his own interests."

A few days ago, Israeli Army Radio quoted Lapid as saying, "Israel needs to stop the war, make a deal, and bring back the captives."

He further stressed that "Israel has always been against long wars, as the army relies on reserve forces, which are not suited for this type of warfare."

Moreover, in its Sunday editorial titled "The Moment of Public Test," Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that a serious prisoner exchange deal is currently on the table in "Israel".

The website stated that the deal is expected to involve "the return of some" of the captives, along with an agreed-upon plan for future discussions regarding the release of the remaining captives, while also aiming to prevent the outbreak of a full-scale war in the region.

Haaretz highlighted that the families of the captives, alongside the Israeli settlers, have been waiting for the release of captives being held in the Gaza Strip since October 7, and stressed that they "are already experiencing disappointment."

The newspaper pointed out that this is not the first or second time that the deal seemed close, but repeatedly, for one reason or another, the agreement fails to bear fruit.

However, Haaretz adds, "yet it seems that this time the chances of a deal are greater than ever." It points out that in a meeting held by Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant with the families of the captives, following the receipt of Hamas' response to the mediators' offer in the negotiations, the Defense Minister said: 'We are the closest to a deal than ever before."
