In a statement, Mr Netanyahu said: “This victory presents an opportunity for a dramatic widening of peace agreements. We are working on this with enthusiasm.

“Alongside the freeing of hostages and defeat of Hamas, there is a window of opportunity that must not be missed. We cannot waste even a single day.”

Earlier in the day, Israel Hayom, quoting an unnamed source, said Mr Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed in a phone call this week on a rapid end to the war in Gaza, perhaps within two weeks.
