DUBAI: Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel did not commit to any ceasefire or prisoners’ release with Hamas in a statement early on Monday.
The agreement only stipulates a safe corridor that would allow Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander’s release he said.
Negotiations for a possible deal to secure the release of all hostages in Gaza would continue “under fire, during preparations for an intensification of the fighting”, Netanyahu said in a statement released by his office.
