Israeli National Security Minister says Netanyahu has 'no mandate' to end war

Israeli National Security Minister Itmat Ben Gvir said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has "no mandate" for a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

"We now have an opportunity to defeat Hamas, and I say to the Prime Minister, you have no mandate to go for a partial deal without defeating it," Ben Gvir said. 

Earlier in the day, Reuters reported that Hamas had accepted a new ceasefire proposal from Israel.
