After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that there was progress in hostage talks, he will hold a phone consultation on the issue with his small circle of top ministers and advisers, the office of one of the ministers tells The Times of Israel.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar also says “there has recently been certain progress. In light of past experience, I don’t want to overstate it at this point.”

“But we are interested in reaching a deal, which will include a ceasefire,” says Sa’ar.
