3 June 2024 14:15 BST
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel's top priority is the destruction of Hamas, but that the recovery of hostages will also be pursued.
He added that both these objectives are part of the plan to end Israel's war on Gaza, and approved at the highest level of his government.
"This is not something that I am adding now. This is not something that I am adding because I am under pressure within the coalition. It is something we agreed on unanimously in the war cabinet," Netanyahu said in a video statement.
