Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that there “could be” a potential hostage deal with Hamas but declined to give any further details, saying it could thwart the delicate negotiations to free those taken captive by the militant group on Oct. 7. “I think the less I say about it, the more I’ll increase the chances that it materializes” he said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” It is just over a month since Hamas launched its terror attack on Israel on Oct.
“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.” Any deal, was “the result of pressure, military pressure,” he said, before praising the work of the Israel Defense Forces.
