Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet this evening with far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to gauge his reaction to a possible hostage-ceasefire deal, Hebrew media report.

Ben Gvir has been one of the most steadfast opponents of a deal with Hamas and has repeatedly threatened to bolt the coalition.

Ben Gvir is also reportedly convening his Otzma Yehudit faction later this evening in a bid to formulate a response to the emerging deal.
