The head of the Israeli army has called on Netanyahu to "immediately accept" the ceasefire agreement

Zamir believes the operation in Gaza City endangers the 20 hostages who believe they are still alive and joins the proclamation of the hostages' relatives.

JERUSALÉN (ISRAEL), 24/08/2025.- El primer ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, atiende desde Jerusalén a los bombardeos del Ejército israelí a un complejo militar, dos plantas eléctricas y un almacén de combustible este domingo en Saná, la capital de Yemen, supuestamente utilizados para "actividades militares" por los rebeldes hutíes, que controlan la ciudad.

Israeli Army Chief Eyal Zamir has joined the proclamation released this Sunday on the streets of Israel and said that "there is an agreement on the table that must be accepted." He has urged Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to give the green light to the pact that would allow the release of the hostages, which has already been approved by the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas.

Zamir has made these statements during a visit to the naval base in Haifa, where he explained that the objectives of Operation Gideon Carts 2, announced a few days ago by the Israeli Army to take Gaza, have been met. This same operation was criticized by the military chief as endangering the 20 abducted persons.


   
In his view, the Army has already created "conditions for the release of hostages." "It is now up to Netanyahu," he told Israeli television station Channel 13.
   
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened last Friday to destroy the entire city of Gaza if Hamas does not accept its government's terms for a ceasefire. The Islamist group and the countries of the region, including Egypt, have strongly criticized this measure and accused Israel of squandering its chances of reaching an agreement with the Palestinian group. For the operation called 'Gideon's Carts II', the Israeli Army will install about 60,000 reservists in the city.
