The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, citing sources, reported on Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to end the war during a ceasefire, according to ministers he recently spoke with.
Sources indicated that Netanyahu assured Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir that he would return to fighting if the war's objectives were not achieved.
Security sources confirmed that the erosion of the Israeli occupation army's strength in Gaza is one of the reasons Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir are keen to end the war.
The sources explained that the Chief of Staff briefed Netanyahu on the situation of the forces on the ground, a matter that cannot be ignored.
Earlier today, far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "Hamas must not be negotiated with and must be destroyed without the delivery of humanitarian aid or the conclusion of surrender deals."
Ben-Gvir noted that negotiations have devolved into concessions, and that Hamas now feels comfortable continuing to blackmail Israel and push it toward further collapse. He emphasized that continuing on this path will not lead Israel to a decisive victory.
In turn, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in a letter to Netanyahu, demanded that the door be closed permanently to any partial deal and that the army be ordered to invade Gaza in light of Hamas's expected rejection.
