Netanyahu: Gaza Hostage Deal, But Not at Any Cost
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed on Thursday, July 10, 2025, a shared commitment with US President Donald Trump to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza. He stressed, however, that this objective would not be pursued at any cost.
Negotiations for a potential 60-day truce continue. While Hamas has demonstrated a degree of flexibility, significant obstacles remain to a comprehensive agreement.
The Times of Israel reported on ongoing discussions, highlighting the complexities and unresolved issues. Key sticking points are yet to be overcome.
This evolving situation underscores the delicate balance between securing the release of hostages and maintaining regional stability. The potential ramifications of both a successful resolution and a breakdown in negotiations will have far-reaching consequences for the region, impacting India’s strategic interests in the Middle East.
