Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was interviewed by CNN today (Sunday), and refused to commit to early elections that would take place at the end of the war.
"The Israeli public will decide," he said, after several times in which he dodged the interviewer's questions.

In the context of an outline for the kidnapping deal and in the shadow of the ongoing negotiations, he said that "the time will be determined if we are close to the deal".
He also added that Hamas' demands make it difficult for this to happen, but "we will continue to try because we want to return the abductees. What helps is our military pressure. We will continue the military pressure, and we will continue to try to return them."
He also referred to Chek Schumer's statements a few days ago regarding Israel, and claimed that "what he said is inappropriate, it is inappropriate to try to replace the elected leadership with another democracy - we are not a banana republic."
