Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said young Israelis have told him that "even babies" in Gaza should be killed, Middle East Eye reported. Lapid characterized the remarks as evidence that Israel's failure to challenge calls for killing and starving Palestinians has corroded the nation's moral foundation.
The comments reflect broader concerns about hardening attitudes within Israeli society regarding the conflict, though Lapid did not specify when or how many people made such statements to him.
