בחודש האחרון ממשלת ישראל קיימה יותר ישיבות על קידום חוק ההשתמטות, מאשר על השאלה איך יחזרו הביתה אלון אהל וגיא גלבוע דלאל. יש על השולחן עסקת חטופים. אפשר לעשות אותה, צריך לעשות אותה. https://x.com/yairlapid/status/1964706672829735265/video/1

What changed

In Statement A (September 7, 2025), Lapid criticizes the Israeli government for prioritizing the 'draft evasion law' over the hostage deal, implying there is a political obstacle or lack of governmental will blocking the deal. In Statement B (October 7, 2025), Lapid is quoted saying there is 'no political obstacle in Israel to a hostage deal' — directly contradicting the framing of Statement A, which blamed governmental priorities and inaction for the deal not happening. Both statements concern the same specific matter — the feasibility and political conditions for executing a hostage deal — but they frame the political landscape in incompatible ways.
