Israeli journalist Ehud Yaari discusses the next steps for a possible ceasefire deal amid Prime Minister Netanyahu’s visit to the White House.

“I do not see a situation where Hamas will remain without any of the live Israeli hostages – they see that as their ultimate insurance policy,” Mr Yaari told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “I think generally we have a situation where Israel will keep … mowing the lawn or, if you want gardening, not allowing the regrowth of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.”
