Netanyahu: Israel Can Agree to Six-Week Ceasefire for Captives, Rules Out End of War
(Israel Hayom) Shirit Avitan Cohen - Prime Minister Netanyahu told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday, "Israel can stop the fighting for 42 days to return the captives. But we cannot stop the war. The Iranians and all our enemies are watching us, wanting to see if we will surrender." Netanyahu clarified that "Stage 1 of the [proposed] deal is troubling also because of the return of the terrorists to Gaza and the terrorists who will be released, including the Nukhba terrorists [who invaded Israel on Oct. 7]. The Nukhba terrorists will not be released. That's ridiculous."
