Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a press conference in Jerusalem at 8:15 p.m. local time, his office announces.

The press conference will take place amid public demonstrations against his government for not doing enough to secure a hostage deal in the wake of the murder of six hostages, and after criticism from US President Joe Biden that Netanyahu is not doing enough to finalize the release of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
