Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told President Biden on Sunday that the possibility of extending the truce with Hamas would be "welcome" in return for the further release of 10 hostages per day from Gaza.

"We brought back another group of hostages this evening – women and children, and we are moved from the depths of our hearts, the entire nation, when we see this reuniting of families. It simply stirs the soul," Netanyahu said in a statement posted by the Prime Minister's Office on X, formerly Twitter."There is also an outline that says that it is possible to release an additional ten hostages each day. That would be welcome," he added.

Netanyahu said he told Biden that if and when the truce expires, Israel "will go to realizing our goals with full force: Eliminating Hamas, ensuring that Gaza will not go back to being what it was and – of course – releasing all of our hostages."

On Sunday, Netanyahu visited Israeli troops inside the Gaza Strip, where he vowed, "we will continue until the end, until victory. Nothing will stop us."

In the statement released later Sunday he said: "After being today in Gaza and I met with our soldiers, our heroes, and courageous our reservists and soldiers, with fire in their eyes, I am convinced that we’ll succeed, because we have no other choice."
