Israel Announces New Conditions to End Gaza Conflict
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out partial agreements with Hamas, insisting on the full release of hostages, disarmament of the group, and Israeli control over Gaza, a stance that has drawn international criticism amid escalating regional tensions.
Kokcha News Agency: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has declared that any deal with Hamas will only be possible if all hostages are released simultaneously and the group is disarmed. The statement emphasized that Israel will not accept partial arrangements, such as the release of only a portion of the hostages, under any circumstances.
In an interview with i24 News, Netanyahu underscored that only a comprehensive agreement meeting Israel’s full demands would be considered acceptable by his government. According to the official announcement, Israel’s conditions include the complete disarmament of Hamas, Israeli control over Gaza and surrounding border areas, and the establishment of governance excluding both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
The Prime Minister’s Office also noted that the security cabinet has already approved full Israeli control over Gaza, a move that has sparked strong international criticism and condemnation across the Arab world.
This declaration comes amid growing tensions in Gaza and rising fears for the safety of both Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Calls for diplomacy and de-escalation continue from the global community.
Israel’s uncompromising stance, however, signals that it will only agree to terms aligned with its security priorities, deepening the gap between international appeals for compromise and Tel Aviv’s strict conditions.
