US official Sullivan says 'got the sense' Netanyahu ready for Gaza deal
Visiting U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared prepared to negotiate a deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza.
"We're now looking to close a hostage release deal and a ceasefire (in Gaza). It's time to finish the job and bring all of the hostages home ... I got the sense from the prime minister he's ready to do a deal," Sullivan said at a press conference at the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem after meeting Netanyahu.
