Key Netanyahu coalition partner backs prospective Gaza ceasefire deal
4 June 2024 13:04 BST
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's biggest coalition partner said on Tuesday it would lend "full support" for a prospective deal to exchange prisoners with Hamas even if that would entails "far-reaching steps" in Gaza war strategy.
The statement by Shas, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party that wields 11 of parliament's 120 seats, followed open opposition to such a deal by two far-right coalition partners.
