Significant progress on Gaza captive deal, says Netanyahu
In a video shared across social media on Tuesday, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged "significant progress" in negotiations for a Gaza captives deal but tempered expectations, stating, "It's premature to raise hopes."
Netanyahu emphasized ongoing efforts, saying, "We are working tirelessly on this." Netanyahu is slated to hold further discussions on the matter today.
The Captives' Families Forum swiftly responded, pressing the prime minister to finalize an agreement. "A comprehensive deal is already on the table," the Forum declared, urging Netanyahu to act decisively. "He could sign it tomorrow if he chooses."
The Forum highlighted strong public support for a deal to secure the release of all 55 captives.
"The Israeli people overwhelmingly demand an agreement that brings everyone home—no exceptions, no divisions," they said, rejecting "spin and false narratives."

Guterres to Israel and Iran: 'Stop the Escalation' - Jordan News
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Saturday urged both Iran and Israel to de-escalate tensions and halt hostilities following a series of mutual airstrikes. اضافة اعلان In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Guterres stated: 'Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear sites... Iranian missile strikes on Tel Aviv. Enough escalation—it's time to stop. Peace and diplomacy must prevail.' Thick smoke and flames were seen rising from Mehrabad Airport in the Iranian capital on Saturday, as local media reported an explosion in the area amid ongoing Israeli-Iranian attacks that began at dawn on Friday. Israeli media reported early Saturday that Iran's missile strikes on Israel resulted in the death of an Israeli woman, dozens of injuries, and the destruction of nine buildings in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv. According to Haaretz, hundreds of apartments were evacuated after an Iranian ballistic missile struck one of the buildings. Israel's Channel 12 quoted an unnamed political source who warned Iran of further escalation, saying: 'Iran will pay an unbearable price for firing on civilian areas.' The source added: 'We know what Israel targeted in today's strikes on Iranian sites—and we know what Israel chose not to target. That's the next step.' This statement appears to hint at possible upcoming Israeli strikes on Iran's energy and infrastructure sectors. On Friday at dawn, Israel launched an unprecedented attack targeting the heart of Iran's nuclear, missile, and military complexes, killing some of the country's most powerful figures and pushing the broader Middle East into a new and dangerous phase, according to an analysis by CNN.
