Tel Aviv agrees to US proposal on Gaza
According to webangah News Agency, citing reports from Spuntik via Mehr News Agency, the Zionist regime announced it’s acceptance of a US proposal concerning the Gaza conflict.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated that Israel has agreed to Brett McGurk’s proposal, though Hamas has so far rejected it.
A statement from Benjamin Netanyahu’s office revealed that the prime minister recalled senior members of Israel’s negotiating team from Doha, Qatar, amid stalled prisoner exchange talks. This decision followed a week of ”intensive” negotiations that failed to yield tangible progress toward an agreement with Hamas.
The office clarified that some delegation members would temporarily remain in Doha while senior officials return to Israel for consultations.
The statement emphasized that Israel accepted Washington’s prisoner release proposal based on a framework prepared by Brett McGurk, the US Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs.
The US-proposed framework includes a temporary ceasefire in exchange for the release of approximately half of living prisoners held by Hamas in Gaza. Netanyahu’s office stressed that Hamas continues rejecting this mediator-backed offer.
Hamas officials have repeatedly stated they would release all captives only under conditions of a complete war cessation and full withdrawal of zionist forces from Gaza. However, Netanyahu insists on securing only a temporary hostage deal while continuing military operations against Palestinians in Gaza.
