Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke today (Tuesday) with French President Emanuel Macron, updating him on the proposed outline for the hostage deal and insisting that it allowed Israel to meet its defined objectives, including Hamas' elimination.
Meanwhile, Hamas senior leader Osama Hamdan reiterated the terrorist organization's stance in an official press conference, stating that "we informed the mediators that we cannot agree to a deal which does not assure a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, alongside a serious prisoners' deal."
