The Prime Minister’s Office issues a statement that does not deny Israel agreed to a framework for a hostage release, but does say that “the reports about a deal are not correct and include conditions that are not acceptable to Israel.”
Multiple reports have emerged about a deal, including a Channel 12 report from Amit Segal alleging that Israel agreed to a 45-day pause in fighting in exchange for 35 hostages in the first phase. Some 100-250 Palestinian security prisoners would be released for each Israeli sent home, according to the report.
“We are continuing until total victory,” says the Prime Minister’s Office.
