Changes in the Netaiahhu Strategy Regarding the Agreement with the Terrorists
- General-Lieutenant Zamir confirmed the existence of an agreement for the release of hostages.
- Netaiahhu refused parts of the agreements in favor of a comprehensive strategy.
- Protests in Israel demand an end to the war and the release of hostages.
General-Lieutenant Eyal Zamir, head of the Israeli Defense Forces General Staff, stated that there is an "agreement on the table" for the release of hostages in Gaza. This information was reported in Israeli media, where it is also noted that the conditions for the agreement were created by the Israeli army, and now this is in the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netaiahhu.
In the meantime, the Israeli cabinet is discussing a new proposal accepted by HAMAS. It involves the release of approximately half of the hostages in exchange for a temporary ceasefire lasting 60 days. At the same time, Netaiahhu, according to previous statements, wants all hostages to be released at once.
In recent days, mass protests have taken place in Israel, in which hundreds of thousands of people participated, demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the conclusion of an agreement for the release of hostages. The group "Forum of Hostages and Their Families" emphasized that Zamir expressed that the demands are more than Israel can provide.
Regardless of the conditions set by HAMAS, Netaiahhu continues to prepare for a large-scale military operation in Gaza. He emphasizes that military pressure can force HAMAS to accept the terms. Meanwhile, his refusal of parts of the agreements in favor of a comprehensive approach has caused outrage among mediators and relatives of the hostages.
Prime Minister also received support from the administration of US President Donald Trump, which called for the continuation of military actions. Trump stated that the release of hostages could only be possible after the destruction of HAMAS. At the same time, Israeli analysts believe that Netaiahhu's position regarding control over Gaza after the war may undermine any possible agreements.
