PM reportedly considering briefly resuming fighting in order to pressure Hamas

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not interested in holding talks regarding phase two of the hostage deal, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

Instead, he is considering either returning to the war for a brief period of time to pressure Hamas, or allowing the ceasefire to remain in place without any hostage-prisoner swaps, while giving mediators the time to pressure Hamas to additional concessions, Kan says.
