withdrawal. >> so people said, yeah, but if you stay this will kill the deal. and i say, such a deal will kill us. >> reporter: president biden said you were not doing enough to reach a hostage deal. how do you interpret that, and what's your response? >> i think i've already answered that. i'm just talking about the facts. as we've achieved the release of more than half the hostages, and more, a lot more than half of the living hostages. >> reporter: netanyahu made it clear that in his view he's doing plenty. >> i'm committed to getting them out, all of them, all of them. >> reporter: but as long as he refuses to budge on withdrawing israel's military from the border, there will be no hostage release, and there will be more tragedies like this one. this 9-year-old still wearing her beloved roller skates, was killed by shrapnel after an israeli air strike in central gaza. elizabeth palmer, cbs news. extreme heat continues to scorch the west. record-breaking temperatures
