Israel-Gaza live updates: Netanyahu seeks pardon over corruption charges
Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
The ceasefire is broadly holding in Gaza, with Israeli forces inside the strip having pulled back to the so-called "yellow line." Still, renewed Israeli strikes killed dozens of Palestinians last week in response to what Israel alleged was a ceasefire violation by a Hamas gunman.
The bodies of two deceased hostages are still thought to be in Gaza. Israeli authorities have been releasing Palestinian prisoners and the bodies of deceased Palestinians detainees in exchange for the return of hostage remains.

Netanyahu alleges new ceasefire violation over hostage remains
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday accused Palestinian Islamic Jihad -- one of the main Palestinian armed factions operating in Gaza -- of violating the ceasefire by delaying the return of a deceased hostage's body.
"Israel views with utmost seriousness the delay in their immediate transfer to its hands," Netanyahu said of the remains reportedly discovered in Gaza on Monday.
"Israel demands the immediate return of the three deceased hostages still held in the Gaza Strip," the prime minister said in a statement published to social media by his office.
