Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu suggests that Gaza ceasefire negotiations are changing. Now they focus on a complete deal to release all remaining hostages at the same time, not in small groups. Egypt and Qatar are preparing a framework for this deal.
It would include releasing all hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire and Israeli troops leaving Gaza. Hamas representatives went to Cairo for talks after 22 months of conflict. Netanyahu said previous partial ceasefire attempts were not honest.
He wants to get all hostages back, both living and dead. The war will only end when all hostages return and Hamas gives up. Hamas demands the release of Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire, and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
The UN warns about the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza. Many people are starving and malnourished. The conflict started when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, taking 251 people and killing about 1,200 people.
