Israel Political Leader Announces Support for Agreement to Return Captives from Gaza
The leader of the Israeli opposition party National Unity, Benny Gantz, has expressed his party’s full backing for any agreement that would facilitate the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza. Gantz conveyed this message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call discussing the proposed agreement with Hamas. The “Unity of the Nation” party, represented in the Israeli Parliament, could provide crucial support for the approval of the agreement.
Despite threats from far-right political leaders, Gantz remains committed to supporting a responsible deal that would lead to the return of the hostages. Negotiations between Tel Aviv and Hamas have resumed, focusing on a prisoner exchange and a cessation of hostilities in Gaza. Israel’s intelligence agency chief has also traveled to Qatar for meetings related to the prisoner exchange and cease-fire deal.
International efforts have been ongoing to secure a truce and the release of hostages in Gaza. However, the details of any agreement are still pending as both parties continue to discuss the terms.
