Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged on Sunday to step up pressure on Hamas in Gaza while continuing negotiations to secure the release of hostages and working to implement US President Donald Trump's "voluntary emigration" plan.
JERUSALEM/CAIRO:
He said cabinet had agreed to increase pressure on Hamas, which says it has agreed to a ceasefire proposal from the mediators Egypt and Qatar.
Netanyahu rejected assertions that Israel, which has resumed its bombardment of Gaza after a two-month truce and sent troops back into the enclave, was not negotiating, saying, "we are conducting it under fire, and therefore it is also effective."
"We see that there are suddenly cracks," he said in a video statement issued on Sunday.
