Netanyahu’s spokesman says impossible to return all hostages with one deal: ‘This is a spin’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman says the idea that all the hostages can be returned under one agreement is “spin,” during an interview with Channel 12’s “Meet the Press.”

“It is impossible to return everyone with one deal. This is a spin,” Dr. Omer Dostri says.

“There isn’t anyone who doesn’t want to return our hostages. We are doing everything to return the hostages, and the moment we return everyone, we will eliminate Hamas. It is impossible to do a deal for everyone. Hamas is demanding an end to the war,” he says.

Hamas has said they are ready to return all the hostages for an end to the war and the withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza. Some hostage families have urged the government to agree to the demands. In recent weeks, petitions signed by current and retired military reservists, as well as various sectors of Israeli society, have also urged a deal to return all the hostages, even if it risks ending the war.
