At a meeting with visiting UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that Israel hopes “to get our hostages out.”

Amid delays in the purported truce/hostage deal, Netanyahu says that “we hope to get our hostages out — it’s not without its challenges, but we have to, we hope to get this first tranche out and then we’re committed to getting everyone out.”

Netanyahu says that Israel will then “continue with our war aims, namely to eradicate Hamas, because Hamas has already promised that they will do this again and again and again. They are a genocidal terrorist cult.”
