Netanyahu said he had been blocking Palestinian statehood "for decades."
There are now three remaining deceased hostages in Gaza, following Thursday's return of the body of Meni Goddard. Israeli authorities have been releasing the bodies of Palestinians in exchange for the return of hostage remains.
The ceasefire is broadly holding in Gaza. Elsewhere, Israel is continuing strikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces is also continuing raids in parts of the occupied West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, last week that the war "has not ended," warning that "those who seek to do us harm are re-arming."
Netanyahu and other officials, meanwhile, have reiterated their intention to block future Palestinian statehood ahead of a planned United Nations Security Council vote on the U.S. plan for post-war Gaza.
Israeli forces are striking Lebanon again after multiple strikes last week.
The Israel Defense Forces said it has killed at least three "Hezbollah terrorists.”
Last week's strikes were condemned by the Lebanese government and army. The Israelis claim they are stopping Hezbollah from re-arming.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a Monday statement that its warplanes killed two people "who crossed the Yellow Line and approached IDF forces operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them."
The IDF statement said the Israeli air force attacked and "eliminated" the two people, describing those killed as "terrorists."
The "Yellow Line" refers to a demarcation line to which Israeli forces in Gaza withdrew as part of last month's ceasefire deal.
The Emergency Operations Center of Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said in a Monday statement that one person was killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle in the town of Bayssarieh, in the southern Sidon district.
Israel has continued a campaign of airstrikes against what it says are Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure in Lebanon despite a ceasefire deal signed by the combatants nearly a year ago.
The Israel Defense Forces claims to have killed at least 330 Hezbollah operatives since the ceasefire was signed.
Volker Turk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said last month that more than 100 civilians in Lebanon had been killed by Israeli action between November 2024 and September 2025.
