Israel's former prime minister Yair Lapid said young Israelis have told him that "even babies" in Gaza should be killed, Middle East Eye reported. Lapid recounted conversations in which he was told there are "no innocent people" in Gaza and that Israel should "also kill two-week-old babies" in the Palestinian enclave.
The remarks reflect sentiments Lapid said he has encountered among young Israelis during discussions about the conflict.
