Netanyahu rejects Hamas claims: hostages stay in the Gaza Strip!
Vienna, Österreich - The conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to come to a head, while Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands a return of the hostages from the Gaza Strip without responding to Hamas' demands. In a current statement, Netanyahu expressed that the hostage was possible without bending on the "dictations of Hamas". He also announced the continuation of military use in the Gaza Strip, which he described as a "critical stage". Patience and determination are necessary for success.
Hamas, however, has rejected an Israeli proposal for an ceasefire. This included a 45-day ceasefire, the release of ten hostages and 1,231 Palestinian prisoners and the disarmament of Hamas. Netanyahu warned that the end of the war under the conditions of Hamas sends a dangerous message to Israel's enemies. The forum of the hostage families criticized Netanyahu and found that he had no clear plan for the release of the hostages.
Current developments in the conflict
In the meantime there are reports of a possible induction of Hamas in relation to a hostage deal. An Israeli government representative expressed hope that good news would soon be expected. A draft for an agreement could already have been accepted by Hamas. This provides that in a first phase 33 hostages, among them women, children and injured people.
political consequences and international pressure
In return, 1,000 Palestinian prisoners are to be released, although murderers are not allowed to return to the West Bank. In the negotiations, the future administration of the Gaza Strip is viewed as a central point of dispute. The Israeli government excludes a participation of the Hamas and the Palestinian government. The domestic political pressure on Netanyahu increases, especially from the right side of his coalition, where some ministers threaten to leave the government, a hostage agreement should come about.The USA also plays a role in ongoing negotiations, while both Donald Trump and Joe Biden tried to influence. Experts believe that Netanyahu would favor an agreement under Trump, which reduces the likelihood of a quick agreement this week. The exciting situation in the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a hostage deal remains uncertain, while the fights continue and the humanitarian pressure on the affected areas increases.
