Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he hopes a deal can be completed in a few days to release more Israeli hostages held by Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza. “We have 50 left; 20 definitely alive, and some 30 that are not alive, and I want to take them all out. We now have a deal that supposedly we’ll get half of the living and half of the dead out, and so we’ll have 10 living left and about 12 deceased hostages,” he said during an interview on Newsmax’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren that aired on Thursday. “But I’ll get them out, too. I hope we can complete in a few days,” he added.
