Hamas: Netanyahu’s remarks on hostage-ceasefire deal show he opposes offer backed by Biden
Hamas issues a statement charging that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments about a hostage-for-ceasefire deal amount to a rejection of the Israeli proposal unveiled by US President Joe Biden.
Hamas reiterates its demand that any agreement include a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war sparked by its October 7 attack, which Netanyahu rejected this evening, vowing Israel would continue fighting until the terror group is destroyed and all the hostages it holds are returned.
