Political Situation in Israel
Netanyahu Wants to Fire Security Chief After Dispute
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to fire Ronen Bar, the head of the country's internal security service, AFP reports.
Netanyahu and Bar have been involved in an open conflict in recent weeks over reforms to the agency, which has been heavily criticized for failing to prevent the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023.
Netanyahu says he lacks confidence in Ronen Bar. A new head of the Shin Bet security service will help Israel "achieve its war goals and prevent the next catastrophe," he says.

Major split in Gaza ceasefire talks
Late Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Israeli negotiators to continue ceasefire talks, AFP reports.
However, he wants the negotiations to be based on a proposal from the US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, which calls for the “immediate release of eleven live hostages and half of the dead hostage.”
The statement came after Hamas said it was ready to release a live Israeli-American hostage, Edan Alexander, and the remains of four other Israeli-Americans in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Israel and Hamas are set for more indirect talks on Sunday about the Gaza ceasefire, AFP reports.
