In a series of appearances on US Sunday talk shows, the prime minister sought to make clear Israel was doing everything it can, «around the clock,» in order to rescue those held captive. «This is one of our two war goals,» he said: «One is to destroy Hamas, and the second is to bring back our hostages.» Asked on CNN whether he agrees with the US position that an extended pause in Gaza fighting is needed in order to get the hostages released safely, Netanyahu said: «We don't disagree with that.
