The international community must demand that Hamas free the remaining captives held in Gaza “immediately,” Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said on Thursday, accusing the terrorist group of frustrating the indirect talks towards a hostages-for-ceasefire-and-terrorists-release agreement.

“The world must demand that Hamas free our hostages immediately,” the prime minister reiterated in the statement.
