In a recent interview, former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid described a tense meeting with a group of young Israelis. Lapid recounted that these individuals expressed extreme views regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza, specifically stating that there are 'no innocent people' in the territory and suggesting that even infants should be killed. Lapid used the encounter to highlight what he views as a dangerous erosion of moral standards within Israeli society.

Lapid argued that the failure of leadership and society to push back against such rhetoric is a significant problem. While the provided reports focus on Lapid’s account of these conversations, they do not provide specific details regarding the identity of the young people or the broader context of the meeting, other than it being described as a 'furious and painful' exchange. The reports emphasize Lapid's concern that the normalization of such extreme language regarding the Palestinian population in Gaza represents a shift in the ethical discourse within Israel.
