Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has summoned his war cabinet amid growing signs of an imminent deal on the release of hostages who were taken by Hamas fighters to the Gaza Strip more than six weeks ago, Reuters reports.
“We are making progress. I don’t think it’s worth saying too much, not at even this moment, but I hope there will be good news soon,” Netanyahu told reservists without providing further details.
His office said that “in light of developments in the matter of the release of our hostages”, he would convene his war cabinet at 6pm followed by meetings of his wider security cabinet and the full cabinet.
