A premature end to the war will leave a battered Hamas still intact and able to recover and regain its stranglehold on Gaza
In a special video message on Sunday night, Netanyahu described Hamas's terms to free some 132 hostages in Gaza as those of “capitulation,” adding that he “utterly” rejected them.
Katz will also present his European counterparts with strategic plans and projects to promote the region, including the "Tracks for Regional Peace" initiative, connecting the Middle East and Europe.
Despite the schism, there was agreement between both groups that the best way to secure the release of the hostages was by exerting military pressure on Hamas.
Part of the deal would include the release of hostages and new normalization agreements between Israel and Arab states.
Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's statement did not mention the release of hostages that have been detained by terrorist groups in Gaza since October 7th.
Knowing that the White House is now pressuring Israel, Hamas terrorists have realized that they have a chance of maintaining their survival.
