Netanyahu shared his views regarding the Gaza cease-fire and conflict.
Regarding the rewrite of the article about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments and the situation in Gaza:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested a "partial" ceasefire with Hamas, aiming to facilitate the repatriation of Israeli hostages from Gaza. However, he remains unwilling to agree to any deal that would lead to an overall end to the Gaza conflict. In an interview with Israeli television Channel Fourteen, Netanyahu stated, "Our objective is to secure the return of hostages and dismantle Hamas's control in Gaza."
The Gaza conflict has persisted for over eight months, prompting numerous Israeli protests demanding the safe return of hostages and early elections. Last month, US President Joe Biden proposed a phased six-week ceasefire plan to pave the way for permanent peace negotiations in Gaza. While US officials indicated Israel had "accepted" the ceasefire proposal, Netanyahu and other Israeli authorities have not formally agreed, insisting on continuing operations until Hamas is removed from Gaza.
Netanyahu noted in the interview that military operations in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, are nearing conclusion, signaling a potential easing of hostilities against Hamas. However, he emphasized Israel's intention to establish a civilian administration in Gaza post-Hamas, possibly involving local Palestinians and regional humanitarian aid.
Despite talks of de-escalation, Israel faces ongoing tensions along its northern border with Lebanon, where frequent Israeli counter-attacks against Hezbollah risk escalating into broader conflict. Netanyahu announced plans to deploy additional troops to the northern border for self-defense and to assist displaced populations.
The Israel-Hezbollah conflict has forced thousands to flee from northern Israel and southern Lebanon amid heightened regional tensions.
