Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ruled out releasing "thousands" of Palestinian prisoners as part of any deal to halt fighting in Gaza.

"I would like to make it clear... We will not withdraw the IDF (army) from the Gaza Strip and we will not release thousands of terrorists. None of this will happen," he said in an address at Eli settlement in the occupied West Bank.
