Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the start of the government meeting that "in Washington, I agreed with President Trump on an outline for the release of all our hostages, and achieving all the war objectives we set. I will provide a more detailed report to both government members and cabinet members." According to him, "Today we are going to appoint Major General David Zini as the head of the Shin Bet. I was very impressed with him over the years and I have known him for many years; his various roles in the IDF, and his different positions in the IDF where he worked closely with the Shin Bet."
