Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies that Israel received an offer in which Hamas agreed to free four hostages in exchange for a two-day ceasefire.

Multiple reports said Egypt proposed the deal as a way to re-establish trust between Israel and the terror group, given the breakdown in talks.

Netanyahu’s office says that Israel did not receive such a proposal, but if it had, “the prime minister would have accepted it immediately.”
