The war cabinet is currently meeting in Tel Aviv to discuss ongoing hostage negotiations with Hamas.
Negotiations appeared to hit a snag after Hamas responded to the Qatari framework earlier this week with demands that US President Biden said were “over the top” and Prime Minister Netanyahu called “delusional.”
But Netanyahu did not say he formally rejected the proposal and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Hamas’s response still left room for talks to continue.
