Netanyahu said to tell hostage families he’s prepared to move forward with new Witkoff proposal
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told hostage families earlier today that he is prepared to move forward with US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s latest temporary ceasefire and hostage deal proposal, the Axios news site reports.
Channel 12 reports that Netanyahu told the families that he “principally accepts” the proposal.
Hamas is reportedly unsatisfied with it, as it leaves an opening for Israel to resume fighting after the temporary truce concludes.
