Netanyahu says Hamas under 'immense pressure,' does not directly address ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued cryptic remarks in a video on Monday appearing to address Hamas's statement that it had agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. 

"I, like you, hear the reports in the media, and from them you can get one impression - Hamas is under immense pressure," he said. 

Netanyahu did not comment directly on the proposal that Reuters reported calls for a 60 day halt in fighting and the exchange of Israeli captives and Palestinian prisoners.
