As momentum builds toward the renewal of talks on a hostage deal with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convenes his national security cabinet to discuss Israel’s position in indirect negotiations, which are expected to begin in the coming days.
The meeting is held at the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv.
Earlier today, Netanyahu approved sending a negotiating team after reviewing Hamas’s response to Israel’s latest proposal.
Senior Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, have expressed optimism around chances for a deal over the past day.
