Tel Aviv [Israel], July 8 (ANI/TPS): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday issued a statement saying that his policies regarding continued military actions in Gaza were responsible for getting Hamas to agree to return to the negotiating table fora deal on the release of the Israelis that the terrorist organization holds hostage in Gaza.
