Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied on Saturday that his country declined Hamas' offer to release two more hostages, APA reports citing Teletrader.
"We will not refer to false propaganda by Hamas," Netanyahu said in response to the claims. "We will continue to act in every way to return all the kidnapped and missing people home," he added.
After freeing two American women on Friday, Hamas said earlier in the day that it offered to release another two hostages "for humanitarian reasons" but that Israel "declined to receive them."
