Biden: Netanyahu not doing enough for hostage deal
President Biden said that a hostage deal is closer than ever, but that Prime Minister Netanyahu was not doing enough to advance it.
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.
