German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday called for a deal to free hostages held by Hamas militants in war-ravaged Gaza accompanied by a "longer-lasting ceasefire".
"We need a hostage deal with a longer-lasting ceasefire... We understand the hostage families who say after more than five months, 'The time has come for a comprehensive hostage deal for saving those who are still captive,' Scholz said at a joint press appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
