Member of Parliament Alon Schuster from Benny Gantz's Blue and White-National Unity party stated that while there are currently no discussions about rejoining the government, the party would be willing to do so if it would help secure the approval of a hostage release and ceasefire deal. Schuster emphasized the party's commitment to the hostages' safety, saying that they would not stand by if joining the government could facilitate their release. The comments came in response to reports suggesting the party is considering this move to ensure enough support for a potential agreement.
