Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel is seeking a comprehensive agreement for the release of all hostages held by Hamas as a condition for ending the war in Gaza. Netanyahu emphasized that partial deals for hostage release are no longer acceptable, and the focus of ceasefire negotiations is on securing the return of all captives simultaneously under terms set by Israel. Hamas has indicated it would only release the hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. Netanyahu reiterated that Jerusalem will only agree to end hostilities with Hamas if a deal freeing all remaining hostages is reached.
