Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced early Monday that Israel has not agreed to a ceasefire with Hamas. Instead, the focus remains on establishing a safe corridor to secure the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander.
“We are in the midst of critical days in which Hamas has been presented with a deal that would enable the release of our hostages,” Netanyahu’s office stated. “The negotiations will continue under fire, during preparations for an intensification of the fighting.”
The statement underscores Israel’s commitment to recovering hostages while maintaining its military operations. The situation highlights the ongoing tension and complexities in the region as negotiations proceed amidst conflict.
