Netanyahu: Hamas is Blocking Hostage Deal, Israel 'One Step Away' from Victory
TL;DR
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refutes US President Joe Biden's claims that Israel is preventing a hostage deal, stating that it is Hamas obstructing the agreement. Netanyahu insists that there will be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages and vows to destroy Hamas. Negotiations in Cairo aim to revive a deal for a temporary pause in the war in exchange for the release of some captives, with the main sticking point being the return of Palestinians to their homes in Gaza. Netanyahu also emphasizes the threat posed by Iran and calls for national unity amidst domestic tensions.
