Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that he is working closely with President Trump’s team on a 21-point agreement aimed at advancing a wider deal. He stressed that while they “do not agree on everything, on the essential things we do,” and expressed hope that the matter could soon be finalized.
Netanyahu said Hamas leaders could be granted safe passage abroad if they agreed to release the hostages and end the war.
He declined to rule out action against Qatar, saying, “I will discuss the Qatar issue with President Trump, not on air.”
Responding to accusations of intentional starvation in Gaza, Netanyahu rejected the claims, insisting: “There has never been a doctrine of starvation in Gaza.”
