Today (Monday), Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the debate over President Biden's proposed hostage deal, which Israel reportedly approved in part.

In his statement, Netanyahu said "we are working in innumerable ways to return our hostages. I think about them all the time, about their families, about their suffering. Therefore we went a long way to bring them back, but during this effort we maintained the goals of the war, especially the elimination of Hamas."

Netanyahu said that "we insist that we will complete both. This is part of the (proposed) plan. It's not something I'm adding now. It's not something I'm adding because I was pressured by the coalition. It's something we agreed upon in the war cabinet unanimously."
