Netanayahu coalition partners back Gaza hostage deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's biggest coalition partner has said it would support a prospective deal to free hostages from Hamas captivity even if it entails an overhaul of Israel's Gaza war strategy.

The statement by Shas, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish party that holds 11 of the parliament's 120 seats, followed similar remarks yesterday by Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the second such party in the coalition, United Torah Judaism, which has seven seats.

"Our position is that there is nothing greater than the value of life and the commandment to redeem captives, because their lives face a real and present danger," Mr Goldknopf, Israel's housing minister, said in a statement.
