Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel now has several opportunities to rescue the detainees in the Gaza Strip and conclude broader regional agreements, following the war it launched against Iran over the past few days.
Israeli media quoted Netanyahu as saying on Sunday during a visit to the headquarters of the Shin Bet security service in southern Israel: "We have removed two imminent threats to our existence," apparently referring to Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah group.
He added, "I would like to inform you that there are a number of opportunities, now, as a result of this victory, and first and foremost, to rescue the hostages."
The Israeli Prime Minister continued, saying, "Of course, we will also need to resolve the Gaza issue and resolve the battle against Hamas, but I believe we will be able to accomplish both tasks."
