GAZA CITY – Israeli President Isaac Herzog stressed the urgency of securing a breakthrough in talks for a hostage deal and ceasefire, Times of Israel newspaper reported on Sunday.
Herzog made the remarks during a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his flight to Washington, where the premier is slated to meet with US President Donald Trump on Monday.
“In his visit to Washington, the prime minister carries with him an important mission — advancing a deal to bring all our hostages home,” Herzog said.
“I fully support these efforts, even when they involve difficult, complex, and painful decisions… The cost is not simple, but I am confident that the cabinet and the security establishment will rise to the challenge, as they have until now,” Herzog added.
