Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to delay a ground operation in Gaza for some time to allow talks on releasing a large number of the hostages Hamas is holding there.
"He has a somewhat skeptical view of the Israeli military plans — and wants time. So he's entertaining other opinions," Axios reported.
It was also noted that the Israeli PM also willing to give more time for hostage-release talks while the Israel Defense Forces better prepare for a ground assault.
Earlier, Turkey announced that Israel launching a ground operation into the Gaza Strip will escalate the situation in the Middle East.
