Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed “outlandish” demands being made by Hamas militants over a deal to release hostages as tensions with U.S. President Joe Biden continue to escalate.
While appearing on Fox News’ Fox & Friends, Netanyahu was asked by co-host Brian Kilmeade about a potential deal with Hamas for the release of hostages amid the ongoing war with Israel.
“I think we’re there, I’m not sure Hamas is there,” Netanyahu said regarding a possible deal to have hostages released. “They have what I’d call outlandish demands, that’s like in another orbit, in another planet.”
“They have to come down to reality and I think that if that’s the case we’ll be able to have a deal,” Netanyahu added.
