CALL FOR NETANYAHU TO SIGN "CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT"The Israeli security bureaucracy is urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to consider a ceasefire agreement that includes a prisoner exchange, as time is running out for the prisoners in Gaza. Following Hamas' recent statement, the pressure on Netanyahu from the families of the Israeli prisoners may increase. After Hamas' statement, Israeli journalist Barak Ravid shared on social media, "The leaders of the security agencies have been telling Netanyahu for weeks that the (Israeli) captives (in Gaza) have no time and their lives are in danger. He scolded them for not knowing how to negotiate. Today, what happened, happened."
