Israel’s Defence Minister has said the government must “convene immediately” to reverse a decision to keep soldiers in Gaza’s Salah Al Din border strip with Egypt, a decision which went against a Hamas demand for a ceasefire. “The political-security cabinet must convene immediately and reverse the decision made on Thursday,” Yoav Gallant wrote on X. “It’s too late for the hostages who were murdered in cold blood. The hostages who remain in the captivity of Hamas must be returned home.”
