Netanyahu allegedly uncertain of ceasefire deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the relatives of those Hamas holds in captivity that he is not yet certain a new agreement on a ceasefire with the organization will come to a realization, the Walla news agency reported on Tuesday. Netanyahu allegedly said he is “not sure there will be a deal” but insisted that if there is one, it will be in accordance with “Israel’s strategic assets.” The report came after United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the Middle Eastern country agreed to the latest proposal of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange with Hamas. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated it retrieved the bodies of six deceased hostages previously held by Hamas.
