Israel Widens Discussions on Egyptian Peace Proposal

Israel’s war cabinet took an Egyptian proposal to end the war with Hamas to a wider group of ministers as domestic pressure grows to secure the release of hostages and regional powers look for a solution to end the fighting in Gaza.

The planned presentation to the 14-member security cabinet on Tuesday night came alongside a broader briefing to the group on hostage-release efforts and other issues related to the war’s progress, according to a person familiar with the meeting’s agenda.
