Global News published this video item, entitled “No ceasefire in Gaza until hostages held by Hamas are freed: Netanyahu” – below is their description.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that Israel would not agree to any temporary ceasefire with Hamas until the more than 240 taken hostage during the Oct. 7 attack were freed.
“Israel refuses a temporary ceasefire that does not include the return of our hostages,” he said in a televised address.
Israel imposed a near-total siege on the Gaza strip and bombarded the densely-populated enclave, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, after Hamas fighters launched a surprise assault last month that killed 1,400 people.
Netanyahu also spoke of his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was in Israel on Friday to call for a humanitarian pause that would allow time to boost aid and facilitate the release of hostages.
