NNA -nbsp;Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back on Monday after speculation that a new release of Gaza hostages was in the works, saying Israel was taking an unspecified initiative in the absence of an offer by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
quot;There is no real proposal by Hamas. It#39;s not true,quot; a statement from Netanyahu#39;s office quoted him as telling representatives of hostage families after some relatives stormed a committee session in parliament, demanding a release deal.
quot;I am saying this as clearly as I can because there are so many incorrect statements which are certainly agonising for you,quot; Netanyahu added. quot;Conversely, there is an initiative on our part, on which I shall not elaborate.quot; — Reuters
