The war cabinet votes to dispatch a delegation to Paris for high-level talks on a hostage deal and accompanying truce in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
There is no immediate government confirmation of the decision, which is reportedly unanimously backed by the war cabinet.
The decision comes after reports indicated Hamas has demonstrated a degree of flexibility in contacts on the terms of a framework deal and as the United States presses for an agreement.
