"Netanyahu Hints at New Deal to Release Gaza Hostages in Israel-Hamas War"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted at the possibility of new hostage negotiations with Hamas, following a recent meeting between Mossad chief and Israel's lead negotiator with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Netanyahu also vowed to continue military pressure against Hamas, while facing growing international pressure over the offensive in Gaza. France's Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called for an "immediate and durable" truce, and the French Foreign Ministry condemned an Israeli strike that killed a French diplomatic official. Al Jazeera announced it will refer the killing of its cameraman to the International Criminal Court, and German and British foreign ministers called for a "sustainable peace" in Gaza. Israeli forces reportedly raided a Gaza hospital, while Israel continued to strike Hamas targets in Gaza.
