TEL AVIV (Reuters) -Israeli opposition lawmaker Benny Gantz on Monday said in a post on X that U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza was an opportunity to free the hostages held there and safeguard Israel's security.
Gantz, who joined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government after the Hamas attack in October 2023 but later left, leads the Blue and White Party, which holds eight of the 120 seats in the Knesset.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, whose Yesh Atid party has 24 seats, also wrote on X backing the Trump proposal.
