Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given the green light for further talks with Hamas. The new round of negotiations on a new ceasefire and the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip will take place “in the coming days in Doha and Cairo.”
As reported, the UN Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages held there. However, Hamas was not mentioned at all in the text. Since then, the Israeli government and the Palestinian organization have blamed each other for the failure to reach an agreement.
According to information from Qatar, negotiations between the two sides continued. Gulf state representatives are working with the US and Egyptian governments to reach an agreement, but so far without success.
The head of government promised room for maneuver
An Israeli delegation will travel to Qatar and Egypt in the coming days. It is led by the heads of the foreign and domestic intelligence services, to whom Netanyahu promised leeway in the negotiations. His team did not provide any further details for the time being. The group had only been returned from Qatar a few days ago, except for a small team. The reason: Hamas rejected a compromise proposal from the US government.
The terrorist organization is calling for a comprehensive ceasefire, including a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. However, the Israeli government rejects this. She fears that Hamas could retain power in the Gaza Strip and wreak another bloodbath in Israel. Hamas must therefore be destroyed.
100 kidnapped alive
According to Israeli estimates, nearly 100 abductees are still alive (see video above). The Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 sparked the war in the Gaza Strip. According to Palestinian information, more than 32,600 people have been killed and more than 75,000 injured.
1,200 people were killed in the attack on Israel. Some of the hostages were released in late November during a brief ceasefire in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
