Senior Hamas official says Netanyahu’s comments to CBS cast doubt on willingness to secure hostage deal
Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri says comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to CBS’ “Face the Nation” earlier today cast doubt over Israel’s willingness to secure a hostage deal.
Netanyahu told CBS that Hamas needed to make more reasonable demands if a hostage deal is to materialize, but declined to discuss specifics.
“Netanyahu’s comments show he is not concerned about reaching an agreement,” Abu Zuhri tells Reuters, accusing the Israeli leader of wanting “to pursue negotiation under bombardment and the bloodshed” of Palestinians in Gaza.
