Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Sunday that the war in Gaza could end if hostages were released and Palestinian militant group Hamas laid downs its weapons.

His statements during a press conference with his Danish counterpart in Jerusalem come a day after Hamas reiterated its long-standing position that it would free all hostages if Israel agreed to an end to the war and withdraw its forces from Gaza City.
