"If you want to look at sad statistics, apparently this (October 7) is the worst day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust," Lapid said.
While acknowledging that the "vicious terror" attacks amounted to a major intelligence failure for Israel, he said Israel's priority was to focus on "eliminating all terror capabilities that Hamas have". "The endgame is there will be no Hamas in Gaza," he declared.
Lapid added: "My view would be that the Palestinian Authority should take over Gaza as it did before (...) but there are still many unknowns.
Right now, what we are determined to do is just making sure there will be no Hamas and no Hamas capabilities in Gaza because they will not make us future victims.
