Israel-Hamas war: Benjamin Netanyahu approves “the plans” for a military operation in Rafah. “The Israeli army is ready for the operational side and for the evacuation of the population,” indicates the Prime Minister's office in its press release.
This Friday, Hamas said it was ready for a six-week truce. 42 hostages – women, children, the elderly and the sick – could be released in exchange for 20 to 50 Palestinian prisoners, depending on whether the hostages are civilians or soldiers.
