Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu may be closing in on a hostage deal, according to a senior Washington Post columnist. After a tense exchange with the US president, Netanyahu opted not to amend the deal, moving away from his previous position, the report said.
The prime minister had previously insisted on new conditions, including control over the movement of Gazans and smuggling on the Philadelphi Corridor. However, according to Ignatius, the defense minister and security services consider these demands excessive and dangerous for the agreement.
