ALBAWABA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed on Sunday that Tel Aviv would allow Hamas leaders in Gaza 'to leave'.

Netanyahu further added that intensified military pressure on Hamas leader has proven effective. The Prime Minister also called on the Palestinian group to lay down its arms.

"We are negotiating under fire... We can see cracks beginning to appear" in what the group demanded in its negotiations, Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting. "Hamas must lay down its arms... Its leaders will be allowed to leave," he said.

He also refused allegations that his country was not engaged in negotiations aimed at securing the release of hostages.
