Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, on Friday praised the US for tying a cessation of the war against Hamas in Gaza to the release of over 130 hostages held by terrorists in the Strip.

"I commend the U.S. for clarifying that any ceasefire in Gaza will be contingent upon the release of the hostages," he said. "We will continue to work together with our allies worldwide to preserve Israel's right to continue the War until the hostages are released and Hamas is decisively defeated."
