Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he hopes to announce the release of hostages being held in Gaza “in the coming days”.
In a video statement, he also said the Israeli army will remain “in the depth” of the Gaza Strip and that in the second phase, ‘Hamas will be disarmed and the Gaza Strip will be demilitarised’.
Netanyahu added he had ordered negotiators to Egypt “to finalise the technical details”, with Cairo.
