IDF chief pushes Netanyahu to vote on hostage deal as heated Israeli cabinet meeting over Gaza invasion reveals split


Netanyahu, however, rejected the general’s push to hold a vote over the current cease-fire deal on the table, which would see half of the living hostages freed and lay the groundwork for a permanent end to the war. “Netanyahu, the father of phased releases, founder of the ‘selections’ method, opposes the method that he initiated and the agreement he already approved,” the forum said, invoking the “selections” at the Nazi death camps of World War II. “Netanyahu is sacrificing the hostages and the soldiers on the altar of his political survival, at a time when an actual deal is on the table, approved by Hamas, that could turn into a framework to return the last of the hostages and end the war.”
