Israel's security cabinet considering 'new ideas' for captives deal, spokesperson says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesperson said that "new ideas" for a captives deal in Gaza were considered during a high-level security cabinet meeting overnight.

"During the meeting, new ideas were brought up to examine their feasibility for a hostage release proposal," the spokesperson's statement reads.

An Israeli official had told the Times of Israel ahead of the meeting that the country was looking for a way to wrap up the war in Gaza with a deal that would secure the release of captives following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
