The latest information about the ongoing negotiations, according to Lebanese sources, spoke of the release of the 136 detained hostages Hamas in captivity, some already dead, for a period of 142 days in exchange for the release of more than 100 Palestinian hostages.

However, the Islamic group demands as a starting point Israel’s commitment to agreeing to a permanent ceasefire to end the war, something that Israel is not willing to accept because his goal is “dismantle Hamas”.

The mediators delivered a draft agreement to Hamas last Thursday – which has already been approved by the USA and Israel – which the Islamic group accepted on a preliminary basis, although with issues still to be resolved.

According to Hamas sources, the Islamic group presented a more defined proposal and is awaiting a response from Israel, although they clarified that the main point is the end of hostilities.

Israel’s war cabinet is expected to meet this evening to discuss a more detailed counterproposal put forward by Hamas.

Netanyahu also warned that he does not need help to “know how to manage relationships with U.S and the international community“keep at the same time”company” Israel’s national interests and reiterated that it will not stop the war until it ends Hamas.

The Israeli Prime Minister reacted thus to the statements made by the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvirthe most extremist member of his government, who in an interview with The Wall Street Journal criticized the US administration of Joe Biden for promoting the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave, something that in his opinion, “only helps Hamas”.

“There are those who say ‘yes’ to everything when they need to say ‘no’. They are applauded by the international community, but they endanger our national security. And there are those who say ‘no’ to everything, receiving applause at home, but also putting vital interests at risk”, explained Netanyahu, who is facing protests in the country in favor of the imminent release of the 136 hostages.

“I would like to tell you something from my experience: the trick is knowing how to navigate, saying ‘yes’ when possible and saying ‘no’ when necessary” he added.

Netanyahu also said that the agency UN for Palestinian refugeesis not part of the solution, (but) the UNRWA is part of the problem”, and asked for his brief replacement.
