National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded Tuesday morning to a report on the cease-fire agreement with Hamas, saying that if the report that Israel will pay a six-week ceasefire in exchange for the "list" is true, it is national collapse. "I very much hope that this is wrong information!"

The agreement, which the chairman of Otzma Yehudit strongly opposes, will not include the return of any hostages from the cruel captivity, but only a list of those who are alive. The names will come from Hamas in exchange for a cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip for more than a month.

In addition to the minister's remarks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that the report about such an agreement was false.
