President Biden spoke to reporters today (Monday), saying that a hostage deal is closer than ever but that he doesn't think Netanyahu is doing enough to secure a deal.
As of yesterday (Sunday), the JPPI tracking poll known as Hamadad finds that 49% of Jewish Israelis support holding the Philadelphi Corridor, a core demand of Netanyahu, even if it means no hostage deal, while 43% believe Israel must give it up in order to secure a deal.
