Netanyahu tells hostage families 'not sure there will be a deal'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he’s "not sure there will be a deal," The Times of Israel reported.

The Israeli online newspaper quoted a father of an Israeli hostage who met Netanyahu Tuesday as saying that his impression was that Netanyahu "doesn’t believe there will be a deal."

Families of the hostages said Netanyahu told them during a meeting that should a deal end up being sealed, it would "safeguard Israel’s interests."

They said Netanyahu has told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in their meeting yesterday that "Israel won’t leave the Philadelphi and the Netzarim corridors under any circumstances."
