The families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza said that they were set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after demanding a sit-down with him. The families have sought to meet with Mr Netanyahu and his wartime cabinet since a truce deal between Israel and Hamas, which led to the release of 105 hostages, expired on November 30. The families said that Netanyahu and other leaders had, for days, dodged their requests to meet. The meeting is expected to take place today.
