\nEarlier in the day, Netanyahu posted a video message on social media about ongoing efforts to secure a hostage deal. \u201cThere has been significant progress. I think it\u2019s too early to raise hopes, but we are working around the clock\u2014constantly. I hope we can move forward,\u201d the prime minister said.<\/p>\n
The statement continued: \u201cThe vast majority of the Israeli public wants a deal that brings everyone home\u201455 hostages, men and women alike\u2014even if it means a ceasefire. No cherry-picking, no cruel categories, no blood distinctions.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe families are tired of spin and illusions. They long for real news and hope the Prime Minister will find the courage to choose the only path that can secure an Israeli victory and national renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prime Minister convenes top security officials as negotiations reportedly advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":26415,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2563,8,6],"tags":[2626,1476,4060,2658,1765,1513],"class_list":["post-26414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knesset","category-politics","category-security","tag-eyal-zamir","tag-gaza","tag-hams","tag-hostage-negotiations","tag-israel-katz","tag-netanyahu"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/new-negotiations-2.webp\")

\nThe Hostages\u2019 Families Forum responded to Netanyahu\u2019s remarks with cautious criticism: \u201cAt this hour, when the Prime Minister is once again providing updates through the media about ‘significant progress’ in the negotiations, we remind him: there\u2019s no need to reinvent the wheel. A comprehensive agreement is already on the table. The Prime Minister could sign it tomorrow morning\u2014if he chooses to.\u201d<\/p>\n
