TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The feasibility of an ill-fated U.S.-backed proposal Conflict going on in Gaza for 8 months Trapped in doubt on Monday, incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would only be willing to abide by a “partial” ceasefire proposal that would not end the war, comments that sparked an uproar from families of those taken hostage. Gave. Through Hamas.

In an interview broadcast Sunday on Israeli Channel 14, a conservative, pro-Netanyahu station, the Israeli leader said he was willing to make a “partial deal – it’s no secret – that will give something back to our people,” more or less 120 Regarding the hostages who are still in the Gaza Strip, “We are committed to continuing the war after a pause to achieve the goal of eliminating Hamas.”

Netanyahu’s comments did not deviate dramatically from what he has said so far about his conditions for a resolution. However, they have reached a delicate moment as Israel and Hamas appear to be moving forward on untouched ceasefire proposals, and they could deal another blow to mediators trying to end the conflict.

Netanyahu’s reaction came out clearly proposal outline The deadline for termination was made clear through US President Joe Biden, who framed the plan as an Israeli plan and what some in Israel see as “Netanyahu’s deal”. His comments may be f More pressure on Israel’s relations with AmericaIts government is the best friend, having made a significant diplomatic push for the untouched ceasefire proposal.

The three-phase plan would include the release of the remaining hostages in exchange for a number of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. However Controversy and distrust persist There are discussions between Israel and Hamas about how the proposal would work.

Hamas has insisted that it will not release the hostages until a permanent ceasefire is reached and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. When Biden introduced his untouched proposal to close the age, he said it included everyone.

However Netanyahu says Israel is still committed to destroying Hamas’s military and government operations, and ensuring it can never again carry out an attack like the one on October 7. The complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, where Hamas’s government control and most of its forces are still intact, would certainly free the mob from control of the area and be able to retreat.

Netanyahu said this in the interview The flow of war is coming to an endCreating conditions for Israel to send additional troops to its northern border to counter the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah, in which an ancient struggle gateway can be seen. However he said it did not matter if the conflict in Gaza had ended.

During the initial six-week phase, the two sides are to negotiate commitments on the second phase, which Biden said would include the release of all other surviving hostages, including male soldiers, and Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza. The temporary ceasefire will become permanent.

Hamas appears to be concerned that Israel will resume conflict as soon as its maximum willing hostages are returned. And even if that does not happen, Israel could make demands at that stage of the talks that were not part of the initial proposal and are unfavorable to Hamas – and could restart the conflict when Hamas refuses them.

Netanyahu’s comments heightened that fear. After they were broadcast, Hamas said they represented “a clear confirmation of its rejection” of the US-backed proposal, which it additionally won. UN Security Council support,

In remarks ahead of Netanyahu’s lengthy TV interview on Sunday, the Palestinian militant group said their position was “contrary” to what Israel has been endorsed by the US leadership. Crowder said its insistence that any resolution must come with a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of all Israeli forces from all Gaza Strip was “an inevitable necessity to stop Netanyahu’s attempts to maintain evasion, deception and aggression and A war of extermination against our people.”

Netanyahu fired back and opposed Hamas’ proposal in a statement from his office. He said Israel would not withdraw from Gaza until all 120 hostages were returned.

Hamas welcomed the broad outlines of the US plan but proposed what it said were “modifications”. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during a visit to the region recently, said without elaborating that some of Hamas’s demands were “feasible” and some were not.

Both Netanyahu and Hamas have Incentive to continue destructive conflict Despite the devastating impact on civilians in Gaza and growing anger in Israel, Israel has not reached its goals of returning the hostages and defeating Hamas in the coming months.

The hostages’ families have grown more impatient with Netanyahu, given his apparent reluctance to move forward on any resolution due to political issues. A group representing the families condemned Netanyahu’s comments, which they saw as an Israeli rejection of the untouched ceasefire proposal.

“This is the release of 120 hostages and a violation of the state’s moral duty to its citizens,” it said. It said it held Netanyahu responsible for returning all detainees.

In their October 7 cross-border attack, Hamas-led militants killed 1,200 people and captured 250 people, including girls, children and civilians. Dozens were freed in a brief cease-fire resolution last November and of the 120 other hostages, the Israeli government says some third have been killed.

According to the State Ministry of the Hamas-ruled territory, more than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli retaliation. It has sparked a humanitarian emergency and displaced most of the region’s 2.3 million people.
