Israel's security cabinet is set to discuss the next phase of the ceasefire in Gaza after a united front was presented by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Rubio stated that Hamas must be eliminated, while Netanyahu said that the gates of hell will be opened if all hostages in Gaza are not freed. The ceasefire deal, which the United States helped mediate, has seen six hostage swaps between Israel and Hamas. The strain on the deal has been increased by President Trump's proposal to relocate Gaza's residents.
