During a visit to the central Gaza Strip yesterday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi hints his support for a hostage deal with Hamas in remarks provided by the military.
“We must not give up on any of the war goals. The IDF is continuing to defeat the military wing of Hamas and is doing everything possible to bring the hostages back alive. Every hostage we return alive now will have many more years of life, and every terrorist will ultimately be eliminated,” he says.
