Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday gave a condition for a ceasefire.
Gatekeepers News reports that Netanyahu said during a visit to the Ramon Air Force base in southern Israel that srael won’t agree to any ceasefire activity in the Gaza war without the return of the hostages.

“I also want you to know that there is one thing that we will not do – there will be no ceasefire without the return of the captives,” Netanyahu told the pilots according to The Jerusalem Post. “The very idea of doing that has to be removed from the conversation,” he added.
“We (are saying) this to both our enemies and our friends. We will continue (the battle) until we have defeated them (our enemy). We have no alternative. I think today everyone understands that “The Jerusalem Post quoted him as saying.
