Israel Celebrates Hostage Release as Netanyahu Calls for War

TL;DR Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that it is "time for war" and ruled out a ceasefire in Gaza, as he praised the rescue of a hostage as evidence of Israel's military offensive's success. However, a Hamas video showing three other captives still in captivity has tempered Israeli joy. Netanyahu stated that the army's advance through Gaza creates pressure on Hamas to release hostages, but he called for war instead of a ceasefire. The Israeli government has rejected a Hamas offer to swap hostages for Palestinian prisoners, while many hostage relatives support accepting the offer.
