Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz is considering returning to the government ahead of Ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich's expected opposition to the hostage deal that is currently being discussed, Kan News reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, Gantz, who joined the government at the onset of the war and then left, consulted with political officials regarding the offer to return to the government to facilitate a hostage deal.
The consultations centered around the question of whether the move would be right for Gantz, especially in light of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir's opposition to a partial deal that would not return all the hostages.
So far, the politicians in the opposition have spoken about providing a "safety net" which would support Netanyahu in agreeing to a hostage deal, but recently, the possibility of Gantz joining the government under certain conditions arose.
So far, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not made a final decision regarding the proposal submitted by the mediators earlier in the week.
