The head of the Israeli government called the conversation with the American leader “very emotional.”

“We have a path to freeing 10 more hostages every day. This is a wonderful thing,” Netanyahu said in a video message published on his Telegram channel (translated by TASS).

At the same time, the Israeli prime minister reiterated that after a humanitarian pause, the IDF will return to military operations in the Gaza Strip.

How reported The White House, the Israeli Prime Minister and the US President agreed that “the work is not finished and that they will continue to seek the release of all hostages.” Biden welcomed the release of people in the Gaza Strip, including girls with American citizenship. Netanyahu thanked Biden for his “tireless efforts” to push through the deal.

Four-day truce was announced from November 24th. Since then, Israel has exchanged Palestinian prisoners from prisons three times for its hostages captured “Hamas” In total, the Palestinian movement must release 50 hostages in exchange for 150 prisoners. The deal provides for the possibility of extending the truce: one day will be added for every 10 hostages, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners will continue according to the three-to-one formula.
