Reports indicate that extensive behind-the-scenes communications are underway for a comprehensive settlement aimed at ending the war in the besieged Gaza Strip. Hamas has shown a positive response to the mediators' proposals, suggesting the possibility of reaching an agreement that leads to a ceasefire.
Opinions are divided on how to handle the situation post-war, with the United States adopting a plan that includes the deployment of international forces, while Egypt prefers to restore the Palestinian Authority to the region. The occupying state seems inclined to support the American approach, while Egypt rejects the idea of deploying foreign troops.
As part of the negotiations, an American plan has been proposed that includes a ceasefire and a partial prisoner exchange deal, with mechanisms set to release all prisoners as soon as possible. This framework aims to transfer control from Hamas and strip the sector of its authority.
An announcement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office indicated that Israeli policy has not changed, as it demands the release of all prisoners according to the principles set by the cabinet. Netanyahu stated that Israel is at a critical stage regarding Hamas and will not leave any hostage behind.
Later, Netanyahu announced the start of immediate negotiations for the release of all prisoners in the Gaza Strip and the end of the war, alongside the implementation of the occupying state's plans. However, the mediators' proposal includes the release of half the prisoners in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire, which contradicts the occupying state's plans.
During his visit to the Gaza Division of the occupying army, Netanyahu emphasized the necessity of controlling the city of Gaza and decisively resolving the battle with Hamas, while instructing the start of negotiations regarding the release of hostages and ending the war on terms acceptable to the occupying state.
Netanyahu: Israel's policy is firm and unchanged; we demand the release of all prisoners to end the war.
