JERUSALEM, Nov 3, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 
Friday Israel would not agree to a "temporary truce" in its war on Hamas 
militants without the release of hostages taken from Israel to Gaza.

"We're continuing with all our force and Israel is refusing a temporary truce 
that doesn't include the release of our hostages," Netanyahu said following a 
meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Tel Aviv.
