# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is open to striking a deal with Hamas. This is despite the Israeli Defence Force launching an extensive ground operation in Gaza at the weekend, killing over 100 people. Hamas and Israel began indirect talks in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday. Netanyahu says the negotiation team is working to exhaust every possibility for a deal, which would include the release of all the hostages, the exile of Hamas terrorists, and the disarmament of the Gaza Strip.
