Israel remains committed to the plan proposed by US President Joe Biden, which includes a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages held there.

Axar.az reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this.

"As for the sacred mission of freeing our hostages, there is no change in Israel's position on the release plan supported by President Biden. Today, everyone knows a simple truth: the only obstacle to the release of our hostages is Hamas. By combining diplomatic and military pressure, especially the latter, we will return all of them - dead and alive - 120 hostages," Netanyahu said.
