Unfortunately Netanyahu said it’s negative. He insists om continuing until they “destroy hamas”
From the BBC “live” coverage of the proposal
Netanyahu releases statement
A statement has just been released from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
It says he has authorised the Israeli negotiating team to “present an outline” for achieving the release of all hostages.
However, the statements goes on to say the war in Gaza will not end until all goals - including the “elimination” of Hamas’s armed wing and organisational capacities - are achieved.
It continues: “The exact outline proposed by Israel, including the conditional transition from stage to stage, allows Israel to maintain these principles.”
I’m not sure what the exact proposal is but it seems like Israel is saying the ceasefire allows them to achieve their objective while ceasing hostilities.
I’m skeptical Netanyahu won’t break the ceasefire as soon as it’s politically advantageous, but we’ll see.
