Yehuda Cohen
Hamas
1. We are here to say it out loud: Blinken, Antony Blinken, please push Netanyahu for a deal at any price because I want my son to be free.
Ayelet Levy Shachar
Israel Defense Forces
1. Don't sacrifice my daughter and the dozens of helpless hostages.
Isaac Herzog
Israeli Government
1. We are surrounded by terrorism from all four corners of the earth and we are fighting back as a resilient and strong nation.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Government
1. The prime minister reiterated Israel's commitment to the latest American proposal regarding the release of our hostages — taking into account Israel's security needs, which he insists on firmly.
2. I would like to emphasize: The efforts to release a maximum number of living hostages – already in the first stage of the deal.
Anthony Blinken
White House
1. It's now incumbent on Hamas to do the same, and then the parties, with the help of the mediators - the United States, Egypt, and Qatar - have to come together and complete the process of reaching clear understandings about how they'll implement the commitments that they've made under this agreement.
2. It is time for it to get done. It's also time to make sure that no one takes any steps that could derail this process.
3. The United States does not accept any long-term occupation of Gaza by Israel.
4. The next important step is for Hamas to say 'yes.'
5. We've seen public statements before where they don't fully reflect where Hamas is.
