Netanyahu: No Gaza ceasefire without hostage list from Hamas

India TV News  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday in a statement said that Israel will be unable to move forward with the framework of ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas produces a list of the hostages to be released. The Israel PM's statement posted by Netanyahu's office from the official handle on X also said that Israel would not tolerate violations of the agreement and held Hamas solely responsible. Earlier on Friday Netanyahu said that a deal to return hostages held in the Gaza Strip has been reached after his office had said earlier there were last-minute snags in finalising a ceasefire that would pause 15 months of war. Netanyahu's pre-dawn statement appeared to clear the way for Israeli approval of the deal, which would pause the fighting in the Gaza Strip and see dozens of hostages held by militants in Gaza released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
