Quick Glance: First Hostages Released After Prolonged Captivity

Quick Glance: Ben-Gvir Exits Government Over Gaza Ceasefire Deal
  • Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right national security minister, announced his departure from Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government in protest against the ceasefire and hostage release agreement.

  • The Israeli government approved a multiphase deal aimed at ending the 15-month conflict with Hamas and facilitating the release of 98 hostages.

  • Despite Ben-Gvir's exit, Netanyahu's coalition will maintain a slim majority in parliament, with ultranationalist finance minister Bezalel Smotrich expected to remain.

  • Netanyahu stated that Israel would resume fighting if necessary and emphasized that the agreement would only proceed once Hamas provided a list of hostages to be released.
