Israel's defence officials urge war cabinet to make compromises with Hamas for hostages: Report

The heads of Israel’s defence community urged Israel’s war cabinet to make additional compromises with Hamas to reach a hostage deal, according to a Walla News reporter.

After meeting last night, Israel’s war cabinet agreed to “expand the mandate” of its negotiating team.

Israel’s war cabinet met after the families of hostages released a video showing young female Israeli soldiers abducted by Palestinian fighters on 7 October.
