Hebrew media: The cabinet is discussing a prisoner exchange deal and a temporary ceasefire in Gaza under American pressure.

Hebrew media reported that the Israeli government's security cabinet will hold an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss a prisoner exchange deal with the Gaza Strip that includes a temporary ceasefire.

According to the Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom, the cabinet will discuss reaching a "partial deal" that includes a temporary truce in the fighting, amid concerns that this temporary ceasefire could become permanent due to increasing political pressure from the US administration.

In the same context, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer is preparing to travel to Washington, D.C., to hold talks with White House officials regarding the future of the war on Gaza and the possibility of concluding a ceasefire agreement.

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would find it difficult to refuse a direct request from US President Donald Trump to reach a settlement to end the war, especially after Trump publicly announced his support for Netanyahu in his legal battle.

The newspaper added that since the end of the military escalation with Iran, Trump has publicly indicated his intention to use his full political weight to end the war in Gaza, amid increasing pressure from Washington and mediating countries on both the occupation and Hamas to show flexibility and reach an agreement.

Haaretz noted that this week witnessed sensitive political developments, after Netanyahu's lawyers asked the court to postpone his testimony to allow him to devote "full time and effort" to addressing national and security issues, most notably the management of the fighting in Gaza and the prisoners' file.
