'Israeli' negotiators weigh partial agreement to secure captives
Reports alleged that the team believes any opportunity for a partial agreement should be accepted if it results in the release of the largest possible number of captives held in the enclave.
International mediators are attempting to accelerate talks between 'Israel' and Hamas in hopes of reaching an agreement soon. However, the current progress suggests that such a deal may still take time.
A senior official in the 'Israeli' security cabinet was quoted as saying the difference between a comprehensive deal and a partial one is 'just a matter of terminology,' noting that the proposals already involve several phases.
Mediating states are pushing for a swift agreement to halt 'Israeli' military operations planned in Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded a clear decision from the cabinet not to halt the ground maneuver in exchange for any deal.

Israeli media reported earlier that the attack on the Haziz power station near the capital was carried out by the Israeli navy. Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said that the power station was hit by an "aggression", knocking some of its generators out of service. It did not indicate the source of the attack.

Mass strike, protests erupt in Tel Aviv over captives in Gaza
Tel Aviv has witnessed a wide strike since Sunday morning, disrupting traffic and affecting several sectors, as mass protests led by families of captives in Gaza and relatives of war dead erupted. The escalation, described by Hebrew media as a 'people's strike,' is part of a 'week of protests' aimed at pressuring the government to secure an immediate deal to return the captives, even if it means halting the fighting and ending the war on Gaza. According to Yedioth Ahronoth, the demonstrations began symbolically at 6:29 AM, the exact time marking the start of the October 7, 2023, events, a reminder that the consequences of that day are still unfolding. Large segments of settlers are taking part in the strike and protests, which are expected to intensify and peak in the evening outside government and key occupation offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
