Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there can be no permanent ceasefire in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed, casting doubt on a key part of the ceasefire proposal that US President Joe Biden said Israel had made on its own.
Through a press office statement, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that Israel's conditions for ending the war have not changed, listing three of them: destroying Hamas' military and governance capabilities, releasing all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer pose a threat to Israel.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid urged Netanyahu to agree to a hostage and cease-fire deal, saying his party would support him even if right-wing factions in the ruling coalition rebelled. According to him, the government of Israel cannot ignore President Biden's commitment.
On the other hand, Hamas responded positively to the Israeli plan for a ceasefire in Gaza. In a statement issued by the militant group, it said it received the proposal through the mediation of Qatar and that it was ready to commit to a permanent ceasefire that would lead to the withdrawal of Israeli forces, the reconstruction of Gaza, the return of the displaced and an agreement "real" exchange of prisoners.
Biden said on Friday that Israel had proposed a deal that included an initial six-week ceasefire with a partial Israeli military withdrawal and the release of some hostages while the two sides negotiated "a permanent end to hostilities".
