The families of Israeli prisoners in Gaza threatened the Israeli war cabinet with escalatory steps if the cabinet did not meet with them until eight o’clock on Monday evening.

The families are demanding a ceasefire and the revival of the exchange deal to return the remaining prisoners held by the resistance, fearing for the lives of their relatives, and because of fear of the severe shortage of food and medicine and the difficult conditions in which they are detained inside the tunnels in Gaza.

Sources in Netanyahu's office said that a meeting was scheduled to be held with the families the day after tomorrow, Wednesday, but if the families wish, the date will be brought forward.
