Tzur Goldin - the brother of soldier Hadar Goldin, whose body has been held by Hamas in Gaza since 2014 - spoke on Thursday against media reports about a German-brokered exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.

Writing on Twitter, he said, "Enough behaving like the poor: don't discuss mediators and prisoner deals but talk about a determined political initiative conditional on a final status agreement for Gaza that must bring peace to the south. It depends only on Netanyahu."
