Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking on NBC news interview " Meet the Press" on Sunday to discuss a possible deal to free the hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7., Gaza’s governance following the war, and death toll figures produced by Gaza officials in an interview on “Meet the Press.”
Netanyahu told “Meet the Press” that there “could be” a potential hostage deal with Hamas but refused to give any further details, saying doing so could foil the delicate negotiations to free those that have been captured by Hamas. “I think the less I say about it, the more I’ll increase the chances that it materializes,” he said in the interview.
It has been just over a month since Hamas launched its terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7 in a brutal ambush that saw more than 1,200 killed and around 220 people taken hostage.
In the weeks that have followed, Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza in response has seen more than 11,000 people killed, while more than 1.6 million people have been displaced, according to health officials in the besieged enclave and estimates from the United Nations.
The Prime Minister was asked by host Kristen Welker about how close Israel was to getting the hostages out, Netanyahu said that no deal had been close until his forces began the ground operation in Gaza.
“We heard that there was an impending deal of this kind or of that kind and then we learned that it was all hokum. But the minute we started the ground operation that began to change,” he said.
Pressed again by Welker on whether there is a potential deal to release more hostages, Netanyahu replied: “There could be.”
以色列總理表示可能達成釋放人質的協議 - NBC 採訪
以色列總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡週日在NBC 新聞採訪“與媒體會面”中發表講話，討論釋放10 月7 日哈馬斯劫持人質的可能協議、戰後加沙的治理以及加沙官員公佈的死亡人數。 “會見媒體”的採訪。
內塔尼亞胡告訴“會見媒體”，與哈馬斯“可能”達成一項潛在的人質協議，但拒絕透露任何進一步的細節，稱這樣做可能會破壞釋放被哈馬斯俘虜的微妙談判。 「我認為我說得越少，它實現的機會就越多，」他在採訪中說道。
距離哈馬斯 10 月 7 日對以色列發動恐怖攻擊僅一個多月，這次攻擊造成 1,200 多人死亡，約 220 人被劫為人質。
根據被圍困飛地的衛生官員和聯合國的估計，在接下來的幾周里，以色列對加薩的無情轟炸已造成 11,000 多人死亡，超過 160 萬人流離失所。
主持人克里斯汀·韋爾克問總理以色列距離解救人質還有多遠，內塔尼亞胡表示，直到他的部隊開始在加薩開展地面行動之前，尚未達成任何協議。
「我們聽說即將有這樣或那樣的交易，然後我們得知這都是胡言亂語。 但從我們開始地面行動的那一刻起，情況就開始發生變化，」他說。
當韋爾克再次追問是否有可能達成釋放更多人質的協議時，內塔尼亞胡回答說： “有可能。”
