Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convenes a security consultation with the heads of the security establishment, Ynet reports.
Among the topics discussed is when to bring a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas up for approval by all the members of the government, the report says.
A deal would apparently require approval by the security cabinet and by the government, but not a Knesset vote.
