Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Tuesday demanded the unconditional release of the remaining 50 hostages following the release of a video showing two emaciated hostages.

Tensions are rising again in the face of possible Gaza peace talks after a far-right Israeli minister prayed at Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site and Hamas released a video showing emaciated Israeli hostages.

Israel's military will have to execute any government decisions on Gaza, the defence minister said Wednesday after reported disagreements over the prospect of a full occupation of the Palestinian territory.

Following the vote to oust Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, the country’s top court issued an injunction barring the government from appointing a new attorney general until further instructions. The court previously told the government that the procedure it chose to fire Baharav-Miara was inappropriate.
