Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hopeful for a hostage release agreement with Hamas, which might include a 60-day ceasefire for negotiating an end to the conflict. He expressed determination to defeat Hamas and secure the hostages’ release. During a US visit, Netanyahu highlighted the possibility of concluding a deal within days. He explained that if a negotiated solution is not reached within the 60-day timeframe, Israel would resort to force. Reports suggest that the US administration might not allow Israel to resume fighting in Gaza after a ceasefire. Despite this, Netanyahu has stated Israel’s right to resume fighting if Hamas fails to comply. Discussions between the two sides continue in Qatar, with sticking points, including the terms of a potential ceasefire and the withdrawal of troops from Gaza. Netanyahu said Israel seeks to ensure Hamas’s demilitarization as a primary condition for ending the war, underscoring the nation’s dual approach of diplomacy and military pressure.
