Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed the new framework for a hostage deal being promoted by American envoy Steve Witkoff, which he said would be presented soon, stating that "we must continue tightening the noose around Hamas's neck and force them into a complete surrender deal with all hostages at once." According to him, "It would be delusional folly to release pressure now and sign a partial deal that would give them oxygen and a lifeline, allowing them to recover. I will not allow such a thing to happen. Period."
