“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: the destruction of Hamas’ military and administrative capacity, the release of all hostages and the guarantee that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” he said.
Although half the world woke up this Saturday with a little hope after the announcement of the Israeli peace proposal by US President Joe Biden, that glimmer of hope has disappeared with the statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has made it clear that the war will will not end until Israel has achieved its objectives.
“The conditions of Israel to end the war have not changed: the destruction of Hamas’ military and administrative capacitythe liberation of all hostages and the guarantee that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement on social media.
In the statement, the Israeli chief executive’s office estimates that all these factors are “conditions to be met” before a permanent ceasefire.
“It is impossible,” Netanyahu’s office insists, “to entertain the idea that Israel could agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are not met.”
The words are similar to those used by Israel last night, after US President Joe Biden announced from the White House a proposal for a three-phase Israeli ceasefire, in which several exchanges of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners would take place as troops gradually withdraw were withdrawn. withdrawn from the enclave and a reconstruction plan is launched.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s team confirmed that it had authorized its negotiators to submit a draft ceasefire to Hamas to free the kidnapped people, maintaining the achievement of its military objectives as an indispensable basis.
Hamas already said that sees the proposal as “positive” of the ceasefire announced by Biden regarding a “definitive ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, the reconstruction of Gaza and the exchange of prisoners”, and has assured that he is ready to deal constructively with any plan that includes these points.
The Palestinian group has been insisting for days that it is willing to reach a deal to release the hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons as long as Israel ends the war in Gaza, where more than 36,200 people have been killed.
