JERUSALEM, Oct 5, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that he hoped that all hostages held in Gaza would be returned home in the coming days.

"I hope that in the coming days we will be able to bring back all our hostages... during the Sukkot holidays," Netanyahu said in a televised statement, adding that "military and diplomatic pressure" had compelled Hamas to agree to release the captives.

The Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins on Monday and lasts until the following Monday.
