Former Israeli Defense Minister Gantz Offers Political Truce to Secure Gaza Hostage Deal
Gantz calls for unity government to help release hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian group Hamas.
TEL AVIV: In a surprising move, former Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a unity government with opposition members.
The proposed temporary coalition aims to sidestep far-right parties and negotiate a deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza following the October 2023 attack by Palestinian group Hamas, which sparked the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
