In efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prepared to offer their captors “several million dollars” for the release of each hostage, Paralel.Az reports citing The Times of Israel.

The prime minister is also prepared to guarantee “safe passage” out of Gaza for captors and their families who release hostages, the report says.

It says Netanyahu issued instructions to this effect at a security consultation tonight.

Netanyahu discussed this effort publicly last month, but it has yet to gain any traction.
