Former military leaders have called for the Knesset to activate emergency measures to withdraw confidence from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, citing serious concerns over Israel's national security. Amid ongoing negotiations for a prisoner swap deal, Netanyahu is under increasing pressure from both domestic military leaders and international allies.
The Israeli media has reported new demands from Netanyahu's administration regarding the swap deal, which is being negotiated under the auspices of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt. A meeting is scheduled for next Thursday to discuss these terms, with significant implications for Israel's approach to Hamas. The call for a ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners highlights the urgent need for diplomatic resolution in the region.
