Israel War Cabinet to discuss new push for Gaza hostage deal

The Hindu  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was convening his War Cabinet later on Sunday, a senior official said, amid intense diplomacy to forge a Gaza truce and hostage release deal. "A functional Palestinian Authority is in Israel's interest too, because in order to make peace, we need a strong Palestinian Authority, not a weaker one," Mr. Borrell said. Israel's Army said at least eight rockets were fired from Gaza's far-southern city of Rafah and that "a number of the projectiles were intercepted", with no reports of casualties. With more strikes reported Sunday across Gaza, Israel's military said that over the past 24 hours it had destroyed "over 50 terror targets".
