Netanyahu says he hopes to announce hostage release in the ‘coming days’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hoped to announce the release of hostages in Gaza “in the coming days”.

In a statement on television, “Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be militaryized – either the easy or difficult way, but it will be achieved,” he said.

Comments came after Hamas made a statement that he agreed to release hostages within a US Peace Plan on Friday, but he did not talk about being disarmed and searched for negotiations on other issues.

Hamas said on Saturday that Israel continued to “massacre” after being shot in Gaza in the morning and called on Global pressure on Israel.

The indirect ceasefire talks between the parties will begin on Monday in Egypt.

US President Donald Trump said Hamas would “not tolerate delay” to complete an agreement.

In an article on the social platform, Trump said, “Hamas should move fast, or all bets will be closed … Let’s get it done quickly.”

Later, Israel “accepted the first withdrawal line”, the US plan, published in addition to the Israeli troops reference to various lines of withdrawal of money, he said.

The 20 -point plan proposes the release of 20 live Israeli hostages held by Hamas, as well as 20 living Israeli hostages held by Hamas for hundreds of Gazans.

In a mission in X, the Israeli Defense Forces said that “the order of the first stage of the Trump plan to be implemented for the release of hostages”. He added that the security of IDF troops is “the biggest priority”.

Hamas was at least under pressure to accept some points of Trump’s plan. And exactly what they do, “yes, but” with the answer. The group agreed to release all the hostages of both living and dead, and Gaza will be governed by technocrats.

However, in addition to other things, the group did not mention that it would not be disarmed – an important Israeli demand.

In both Gaza and Israel, there was a cautious optimism that the current efforts could finally lead to an agreement. Now one of the main differences is Trump’s personal participation of Trump, who is willing to be remembered and rewarded as the man who finished the war.

He called on Hamas to accept an agreement that threatened more military power, and have recently been indicative of the increasing irritation with the leadership of Israel. However, it is not clear whether the Trump effect will be sufficient.

The truth is that the obstacles that prevent previous agreements remain the same, and a guarantee that Hamas will not continue the war after Hamas’s demand for a complete withdrawal of Israel and the release of hostages. The group knows that it will be vulnerable without hostages, and will undoubtedly demand strong guarantees that it will not happen.

There are doubts elsewhere. Many outside and outside Israel accused Netanyahu of sabotaging previous efforts to extend the war for political purposes.

If Savaş ends without the total defeat of Hamas, it is supported by ultranational ministers who threaten to leave the coalition. This may lead to the collapse of the government. For now, the Prime Minister seems safe.

However, the surveys constantly suggested that most Israelis support an agreement with Hamas for the release of hostages and the end of the war. The country is deeply divided, exhausted from war and is increasingly isolated in the international arena.

There is a great momentum for an agreement, but this is not a guarantee that a person will be reached.

The pledge families told the BBC that they hoped that their loved ones will be returned soon.

Vicky Cohen, who is one of the 20 prisoners who are believed to be still alive in Gaza, said that he woke up with a sense of expectation on Saturday, and at the same time he was afraid he was afraid that something would go wrong.

“This is a fragile situation and we don’t want to be disappointed again. [him] Again, “he said.

The reactions between the Palestinians in Gaza changed to deep doubt from hope.

Some fear went into a trap of Hamas and Israel will only take back the hostages to continue the war. Others believe that a historical opportunity has been opened to end the two -year conflict.

“Do not move with optimism,” Ibrahim Fares, a resident of Gaza, said. “There will be conversations about the details. Satan is always detailed.”

Meanwhile, Israeli military strikes continued to shoot Gaza, although Trump told Trump to “stop bombing immediately” in a message on social media on Friday.

According to medical resources at the Al-Shifa Hospital, three air strikes hit Gaza City early on Saturday, one killed one person and injured others.

The Ministry of Health, operated by Hamas in Gaza, said that 66 people were killed by Israeli military operations in Gaza in the last 24 hours and that the war has brought the total since the beginning of 67,074.

International journalists have been banned by Israel to enter the Gaza Strip independently since the beginning of the war, and made it difficult to verify from both sides.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the attack on Hamas on 7 October 2023 against Southern Israel, and about 1,200 people were killed and 251 people were hostage.

Most of the Gaza population was repeatedly displaced and it is estimated that more than 90% of the houses were damaged or destroyed.
