Netanyahu has promised "immediate" negotiations to free the hostages without renouncing military intentions
On the same day that he promised the negotiations, he confirmed the plan presented to him by the Israeli army to "take the city of Gaza and defeat Hamas."
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has announced that he has instructed his team to "immediately" start negotiationsto "release" all those still kidnapped in the Gaza Strip and end the "war" under conditions that will be "acceptable" to Israel. He has explained that he has welcomed the plan presented to him by the Army to take over the capital of Gaza and has stressed that he will continue with it.
Netanyahu foresees a "decisive victory" against Hamas, which he wants to "defeat" by hardening his offensive against the Strip. "Hamas's defeat and the release of all hostages go hand in hand," he said in a video recorded from a command post in the military division in Gaza.
The Prime Minister praised the Army's work on this "key mission" and this week urged the Israeli Defense Forces (FDI) authorities to speed up the deadlines for taking Gaza City, which will involve activating 60,000 reservists.
Hamas (a political-military resistance movement with an absolute majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council since 2006) has endorsed the ceasefire agreement presented by international mediators and accused Netanyahu and his government of obstructing dialogue, while accusing them only of focusing on attacks on Gaza.
