JERUSALEM, April 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to bring home remaining hostages from Gaza without yielding to Hamas' demands, insisting the military campaign in the Palestinian territory had reached a "critical stage".

"I believe we can bring our hostages home without surrendering to Hamas's dictates," Netanyahu said, in his first comments since Hamas, seeking a permanent end to the Gaza war, rejected a new truce proposal. "We are at a critical stage of the campaign, and at this point, we need patience and determination to win."
