Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss his efforts to rescue hostages and maintain red lines with Hamas.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday morning dismissed reports negotiators were close to agreeing a cease-fire deal.

Netanyahu stressed that Israel has agreed to several deals proposed by the negotiators from the US, Egypt and Qatar but that each time the deal lapsed because Hamas “has consistently said no to every one of them.”
