PM’s office denies report that Israel has withdrawn demand for Hamas’s exile from Gaza

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denies a news report that Israel recognizes that Hamas leaders will never accept exile from Gaza, and is no longer insisting on that as part of its demands for an end to the war.

“Fake news once again,” says the Prime Minister’s Office. “In contrast to the false report from Channel 12 this evening, the exile of senior Hamas officials has not been taken off the agenda.”
