We look them in the eye and tell them they have no privilege to do anything other than bring back the hostages,
Just because they talked, neither means that the Americans accepted Hamas' demands, or that Hamas accepted the American demands. There was direct engagement for a very specific purpose.

This heinous crime comes in the context of the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an in-depth discussion this evening on the issue of the hostages, with the participation of the negotiating team and the heads of the security establishment.
