After US special envoy Steve Witkoff says on Fox News that talks on phase 2 of the hostage release-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas will begin this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office releases a statement saying that he told Witkoff he would convene the security cabinet tomorrow to discuss the second phase.

Talks on the second phase were supposed to begin last week.
