TEHRAN (defapres) – The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, Benyamin Netanyahu, declared that any hostage exchange agreement should allow us to continue fighting until all the goals of the war are achieved.

Netanyahu while running words that will put obstacles in the way of the ceasefire negotiations in Doha, added: "This agreement should not be a license to smuggle weapons to Hamas through Egypt's borders".

He stated that according to this agreement, thousands of armed people cannot be allowed to return to northern Gaza. He claimed that the proposal that Israel has agreed to and is supported by Biden, allows the return of hostages without retreating from the goals of the war.

"The general framework of the agreement will allow Israel to return the hostages, but it will not harm our declared goals in the war," the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime said.

Netanyahu while emphasizing that we are working to release the hostages from Gaza alive, claimed that our decisive position in opposing the cessation of military operations in Rafah forced Hamas to enter into negotiations. Earlier, the Israeli media announced that the negotiating delegation of this regime will go to Doha on Monday this week to continue the negotiations.
