Israel not committed to ceasefire, only to safe release of hostage Alexander: Netanyahu | World News

Published by Parlour News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel has not agreed to any ceasefire or broader prisoner release deal with Hamas, but only to a limited arrangement allowing for the safe release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander from Gaza. “Israel has not committed to a ceasefire of any kind or the release of terrorists but only to a safe corridor that will allow for the release of Edan,” the official X handle of the Prime Minister of Israel posted on Monday.

The talk has been held by U.S. presidential envoy for hostage affairs Adam Boehler with Hamas in Doha in the past weeks.
