The war cabinet has decided to demand US guarantees that Israel will be allowed to continue the war against Hamas if the terror group violates a hostages-for-ceasefire agreement, according to the Kan public broadcaster.

An unnamed government official is quoted saying the unanimous Israeli decision is likely to reduce the prospects for a deal to free the hostages held in Gaza.
