Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the government will pursue only a comprehensive agreement for the release of all hostages held in Gaza, declaring that earlier discussions about partial exchanges with Hamas are "behind us." In an interview on Israel’s i24 News, Netanyahu stated, "We are at the stage of one deal. We are not going back to a partial deal. I want to bring everyone back, but on the conditions we set for ending the war." The comments underscore a hardening of Israel’s negotiating position as talks continue over the fate of soldiers and civilians captured during Hamas’s 2023 cross-border assault. Netanyahu added that any agreement must fit Israel’s terms for concluding its military campaign in Gaza, where fighting and humanitarian pressures persist. His remarks come amid growing domestic and international calls for progress on hostage releases and a cease-fire.
