“Israel” foreign minister says Gaza ceasefire deal “achievable”

“Israel's” foreign minister expressed optimism on Wednesday about reaching a ceasefire and captive-release deal in Gaza, saying that if a temporary truce was sealed, “Israel” would negotiate on a permanent end to the hostilities.

"Israel is serious in its will to reach a hostage deal and a ceasefire. I believe it's achievable. If a temporary ceasefire is achieved, we will negotiate on a permanent ceasefire," Gideon Saar told a press conference in Bratislava with his Slovakian counterpart.
