The outcome of the talks is unclear, but after the plane returned, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency security dialogue on the afternoon of January 5 with the participation of Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, according to Israel Army Radio. Earlier, Minister Katz confirmed that Prime Minister Netanyahu had given detailed instructions on the content of the negotiations, after Hamas' armed wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, released a video of an Israeli hostage being held in Gaza.
