Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that Israel is open to ending hostilities in Gaza, provided that Hamas fulfills three specific conditions. The announcement comes amid intensified Israeli airstrikes and ongoing negotiations in Doha.
Netanyahu’s Three Conditions for Ceasefire
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Israel will consider halting military operations if Hamas agrees to:
- Release all Israeli hostages currently held in Gaza.
- Exile Hamas terrorists from the region.
- Disarm the Gaza Strip, ensuring no future militant threats.
Current Status of Hostage Negotiations
Israel has confirmed that 58 hostages remain in Hamas captivity, with 23 believed to be alive. Hamas has maintained that it will only release hostages in exchange for a full Israeli ceasefire.
Ongoing Military Operations & Diplomatic Efforts
Despite ceasefire discussions, Israel has continued its airstrikes, with 103 casualties reported overnight. The Israeli government has stated that its new offensive aims to pressure Hamas into accepting a temporary ceasefire on Israel’s terms. Meanwhile, negotiations in Doha remain deadlocked, with no breakthrough reported.
International Reactions & Future Outlook
The situation remains tense, with global leaders urging de-escalation. While Netanyahu’s conditions signal a potential diplomatic resolution, Hamas has yet to respond formally. The coming days will determine whether a ceasefire agreement can be reached or if military operations will escalate further.
