President Biden will speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday to discuss Hamas’ response to a hostage and cease-fire deal which may be pivotal in ending the war.
President Biden will speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via phone on Thursday following Hamas’ response to a hostage and cease-fire deal, Fox News Digital can confirm. Israel said Wednesday it is examining Hamas’ offer of returning the remaining 116 hostages who were captured by the terrorist group during the Oct. 7 attacks, which left nearly 1,200 people dead.
The U.S. has rallied world support behind a plan that would see the hostages still held by the militant group released in return for a lasting truce and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. However, until now, neither side appears to have fully embraced it.
Netanyahu has been skeptical of the deal, saying that Israel is still committed to destroying Hamas. 'The war will end once Israel achieves all of its objectives, including the destruction of Hamas and the release of all of our hostages,' Netanyahu said in a video statement given in Hebrew earlier this week. Netanyahu was slamming a New York Times report quoting senior Israeli officials who claim some military brass want a cease-fire with Hamas.
