Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
After meeting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss a possible hostage deal with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a press conference tonight in Jerusalem at 7:30 p.m.
This will be the first press conference Netanyahu has held in Jerusalem rather than at the Kirya military HQ in Tel Aviv since the start of the war.
