More than 200 people were taken hostage by Hamas in the attack on October 7. The Israeli military said that about 20 of the hostages were teenagers and young children, and 10 to 20 of them were over 60 years old.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he could negotiate with Hamas for the sake of the hostages. NBC News reported this on Sunday, November 12.
According to reporters, Netanyahu said “there may be” a potential hostage exchange deal with Hamas, but declined to provide any further details, saying it could derail delicate negotiations for the release of those captured by militants.
“I think the less I talk about it, the more I increase the chances of it happening,” he said.
Let’s remember that for more than a month Hamas launched terrorist attacks on Israel, as a result of which more than 1,200 Israelis were killed and about 220 were captured. Among them are dozens of citizens of the USA, Great Britain, France and other countries.
Let’s remember that the previous day, the head of the Al-Rantisi hospital announced that Israeli tanks surrounded his medical facility and asked the Red Cross for help in evacuation.
Netanyahu: After the war, the IDF will control the Gaza Strip
