\nNetanyahu expressed willingness to actively participate in the plan: “Trump never said he wanted American soldiers to do the job. Guess what? We will do the job. Hamas attacked us \u2013 we will finish them,” he said.<\/p>\n
He further added that in his view, “Trump’s plan is the right approach – I think we should pursue it. There are details that need to be worked out, of course. A destination needs to be arranged where they (the Gazans) can resettle, but I tell you: once given the opportunity, they will leave.”<\/p>\n The Hostage Deal<\/strong> Earlier today, a source close to Netanyahu stated that as part of the ongoing negotiations for hostage releases there is a discussion about extending Phase One of the deal.<\/p>\n Hostages Released in Poor Health<\/strong> Netanyahu addressed their return in a statement from the U.S.: “Or, Eli, and Ohad have returned home today. Sarah and I embrace them and their dear families,” he said. “Once again, we have seen the true face of Hamas monsters \u2013 the same monsters who massacred our citizens and tormented our hostages. And I tell them again: their blood is on their own hands.”<\/p>\n Watch Netanyahu’s Interview with Fox News:<\/strong>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-13.jpg\")
\nThe Prime Minister also discussed the ongoing negotiations for the hostage deal, revealing: “I agreed to this deal months ago. But Hamas refused and imposed conditions \u2013 ‘We will release only 12 hostages’\u2026 I said at least double the number. But when Trump took office, the pressure he exerted was on Hamas to accept the deal. I didn’t have to move a nanometer from my original position. Hamas folded.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/3-6.jpg\")
\nLast night, hostages Ohad Ben Ami, Or Levi, and Eli Sharabi returned to Israel as part of the fifth phase of the hostage release deal. Upon their arrival, serious concerns about their health arose due to visible signs of severe malnutrition. All three were transferred to Sheba Medical Center for medical examinations and further assessment.<\/p>\n
