Israel is insisting on a comprehensive agreement to free all of the hostages and end the war on Jerusalem’s terms.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not put Hamas’s partial hostage-release deal on the agenda when the Security Cabinet convenes on Tuesday, insisting instead on a comprehensive agreement that sees all of the captives released and ends the war on Jerusalem’s terms.

Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza currently hold 50 hostages, of whom 20 are alive according to Israeli estimates. Meanwhile, the military is preparing for a major operation in Gaza City, one of Hamas’s last strongholds in the Strip.
