18:05โขGantz Proposes Unity Government for Hostage Deal
โจIsraeli media is largely focused on Benny Gantz's new proposal for a "prisoner redemption and enlistment" government. Gantz calls on Netanyahu, Lapid, and Lieberman to form a time-limited coalition to secure a comprehensive hostage deal, formulate an enlistment plan, and set an election date (Israel Hayom, Kan, Maariv, Mako, now14, i24NEWS, Kipa). This comes amidst urgent pleas from hostage families, who accuse Netanyahu of sacrificing captives (Davar, Ynet, walla), with reports highlighting the dire condition of some hostages (Haaretz, n12, kikar).
