Biden says Netanyahu not doing enough to secure hostage deal
The US is close to presenting a final proposal to negotiators working on a ceasefire, the US president says
President Joe Biden said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not doing enough to secure a deal for the release of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas and the US was close to presenting a final proposal to negotiators working on a hostage and ceasefire agreement.
Biden was speaking to reporters at the White House after Israeli forces over the weekend recovered the bodies of six hostages, including 23-year-old American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, from a tunnel in Gaza. Israel's military said they had been recently killed by Palestinian Hamas militants.
