“Netanyahu did not receive Gaza ceasefire, hostage deal proposal”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Oct 29, CNN - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not receive a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal proposal, according to his spokesperson, following the resumption of high-level negotiations.
CNN previously reported that Egypt on Sunday proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza that would facilitate the swap of four Israeli hostages held in the enclave for an unspecified number of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
During a closed-door Likud party meeting, Netanyahu said, “Israel has not received a proposal for the release of four hostages in return for a 48-hour ceasefire in Gaza,” his spokesperson Dr. Omer Dostri said.
“If such a proposal had been raised, the prime minister would have accepted it immediately,” he added.
