Israeli Prime-Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Twitter/X:

“Instead of retreating from its extreme positions, Hamas builds on division within us, it draws encouragement from the pressures directed at the Israeli government.

As a result, he only tightens his conditions for the release of our abductees. He weighs down his heart, and refuses to send our people.

Therefore, we will land additional and painful blows on him - and it will happen soon.

In the coming days we will increase the military and political pressure on Hamas because this is the only way to free our hostages and achieve our victory.”
