Gantz Urges Unity for Hostage Deal Amidst Gaza Offensive Plans
Former Israeli defence minister Benny Gantz wants Prime Minister Netanyahu to work with the opposition to get the hostages in Gaza back home.
Netanyahu's current government relies on far-right politicians who don't want to stop the war or make deals with Hamas.
Gantz thinks a new temporary government could negotiate a deal to release the hostages.
There are many protests in Israel with people calling for the hostages to be freed.
The government has been planning to take over Gaza City which has led to concerns over the hostages.
The remaining hostages are held in Gaza, with the possibility of the military offensive affecting them.
Benny Gantz proposed a unity government to secure a hostage deal with Hamas.
Netanyahu's coalition relies on far-right members who oppose ending the war.
Gantz seeks a temporary coalition to bypass far-right parties and make a deal.
The government faces increasing pressure to end the war and free hostages.
Protests demand a hostage release deal amidst an offensive in Gaza City.
