The perfect picture for Israel's leadership to put out right now. Netanyahu and Lapid, prime minister and opposition leader, in a rare handshake and display of camaraderie against a map of Iran in the background. The Israeli PM is required by law to routinely brief the opposition leader on security matters. They had such a meeting this morning. But the pictures from these briefings are never this warm, never this carefully staged by both sides to project unity. Our politicians often fail to rise to the occasion. Right now, each in their own way and in their particular roles, our most important leaders are doing exactly what the people of Israel need of them. Credit: Avi Ohayon/Government Press Office
