Netanyahu rejects Hamas demands: hostages remain in the Gaza Strip!
The conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls for the hostages to be returned from the Gaza Strip without responding to Hamas' demands. In a recent statement, Netanyahu said that it was possible for the hostages to return without bowing to the “diktats of Hamas.” He also announced the continuation of the military operation in the Gaza Strip, which he described as a “critical stage”. Patience and determination are necessary for success.
Hamas has rejected an Israeli proposal for a 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 ending the war on Hamas's terms would send a dangerous message to Israel's enemies. The Hostage Families Forum criticized Netanyahu, noting that he had no clear plan to release the hostages.
Current developments in the conflict
Meanwhile, there are reports of Hamas possibly giving in to a hostage deal. An Israeli government official expressed hope that good news could be expected soon. A draft agreement may have already been accepted by Hamas. This stipulates that 33 hostages will be released in a first phase, including women, children and injured people.
Political consequences and international pressure
In return, 1,000 Palestinian prisoners will be released, although murderers will not be allowed to return to the West Bank. The future administration of the Gaza Strip is seen as a central point of contention in the negotiations. The Israeli government rules out Hamas and the Palestinian government's involvement. Domestic pressure on Netanyahu is increasing, particularly from the right side of his coalition, where some ministers are threatening to quit the government if a hostage deal is reached.
The US is also playing a role in the ongoing negotiations, while both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have sought to exert influence. Experts believe Netanyahu would favor a deal under Trump, reducing the likelihood of a quick agreement this week. The tense situation in the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a hostage deal remain uncertain as fighting continues and humanitarian pressure on the affected areas increases.
