Netanyahu: It's Impossible to Reach a Comprehensive Agreement with Hamas at This Time

Translation by SadaNews - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Thursday evening that a partial agreement is currently being reached with Hamas regarding the return of prisoners from Gaza, but he does not expect a comprehensive agreement to be achieved soon.

Netanyahu clarified during a meeting with the families of Israeli prisoners in Washington that Hamas will determine which prisoners will be released at this time.

He said: The anticipated agreement will be partial, but once its implementation begins, immediate negotiations will commence for the second phase, which will involve ending the war and securing the release of all remaining hostages. According to him, as translated by SadaNews.

He reiterated that he will work to bring back all living and deceased prisoners, and he will not allow Hamas to remain in the Gaza Strip.

He also mentioned that there are issues that cannot be disclosed at this time and that negotiations and discussions are ongoing regarding these matters.
