Netanyahu says Israel, US considering 'alternative options' against Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday said that Hamas was obstructing a deal to released hostages held in Gaza, as indirect negotiations hit a dead end.
"Hamas is the obstacle to a hostage release deal," the premier said in a statement.
"Together with our U.S. allies, we are now considering alternative options to bring our hostages home, end Hamas' terror rule, and secure lasting peace for Israel and our region," he added.
