Police and ISA arrest man suspected of inciting to assassinate Netanyahu

A poll published yesterday for Channel 13 show Netanyahu's bloc winning 54 seats and Gantz's bloc 61 - a bare majority.

A new survey shows that a majority of the public thinks that Netanyahu's political survival is more important to him than the release of hostages. 

The Prime Minister also said that "Hamas' proposal yesterday was meant to torpedo the entry of our forces into Gaza. This did not happen."

The President made this demand and others in a half-hour long conversation discussion humanitarian aid and the emerging operation in Rafah.

Netanyahu referred to reports that his statements thwarted a hostage release: "The claim that I am the one who sabotaged the deal is a complete lie and a deliberate deception of the public."

Following accusations about faltering negotiations, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated that Hamas is the one impeding progress on negotiations for the release of hostages. 

A source familiar with the situation claims that publications regarding problems with specific clauses of the agreement are inaccurate and that there is positive progress in the talks.

During a demonstration of bereaved families on behalf of the "Hope Forum," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, demanded that Netanyahu: "Take Rafah now" and not "Give in to a losing deal."

Polls have shown little movement among the blocs or parties for most of April.

This threat comes due to the PA reportedly pushing the ICC to issue warrants against Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant.

36% believe Gantz most fit to be Prime Minister, while just 30% say the same for Netanyahu, with the rest saying neither is fit.

The Prime Minister gave a defiant speech in the face of arrest warrants possibly being issued for senior Israeli officials on the grounds of alleged war crimes.
