Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Knesset on Monday, emphasizing the government’s commitment to securing the return of hostages.
"Bringing them home is our top priority," he said, adding, "While I cannot disclose everything we are doing, there is some progress in the negotiations."
Netanyahu cited three key reasons for the developments: the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the absence of significant aid from Iran and Hezbollah and relentless Israeli military pressure on Hamas. However, he cautioned, "I cannot say how long it will take."
