Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told hostage families at a meeting in Washington yesterday that Hamas determines which hostages will be released. The families asked how the released hostages would be determined, and he responded that "Israel doesn't really have full control over Hamas." He later addressed the rehabilitation of Kibbutz Nir Oz, saying that "KKL (Jewish National Fund) will resolve the issue." Finally, he acknowledged that Israel also shares the U.S. desire to end the war. Additionally, in recordings of the conversation revealed by Haaretz, Netanyahu said: "Hamas intends to dictate this, we don't have a list."
