Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has indicated that a majority within the Israeli government is likely to support the emerging Gaza ceasefire-for-hostages deal. Sa’ar expressed his optimism during a conference in Italy, stating, 'I know there is a majority in the government that support the agreement, and I hope we will reach the agreement.'
The deal is expected to involve Hamas releasing 33 hostages in the initial phase, which is set to occur over a 42-day ceasefire period. However, Sa’ar cautioned that negotiations for the second phase of the agreement are anticipated to be more complex.
