Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video speech that they would not agree to a possible new agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza war and the release of more hostages “at any price.”
Netanyahu said they were working on a new framework agreement to release the Israeli hostages still held by the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip, adding: “We have red lines.” This includes not ending the Israeli war and not withdrawing its troops withdraw from the Gaza Strip and not release “thousands of terrorists” from Israeli prisons in exchange for a hostage deal.
Sick, injured and elderly: Hamas could soon release 35 hostages
Negotiators in Paris have been negotiating an agreement for days.
The head of the Israeli secret service Mossad, David Barnea, is said to have communicated the outlines of a possible agreement
to the war cabinet ministers on Monday, according to
Channel 12 .
The plan is apparently to release 35 female, sick, injured and elderly hostages in a first phase in which the fighting should pause for 35 days, it was said.
There would then be another week-long ceasefire during which negotiators would try to free young men and hostages who Hamas describes as soldiers.
The
Washington Post
had previously reported that the draft negotiated in Paris would initially release all civilians kidnapped from Israel during a six-week ceasefire.
For one hostage, three Palestinian prisoners would be released from Israeli prisons, it said.
According to the US report, the modalities are still unclear as to which prisoners will be released and who can determine this.
As of Wednesday evening, Hamas had not responded to the draft, the
Times of Israel
reported .
Hamas is expected to send its response through Qatar.
A key point of contention that has not yet been resolved is Hamas' demand that the agreement provide for a permanent ceasefire, which Israel has ruled out.
Netanyahu has repeatedly reiterated that Israel will stick to its goals of destroying Hamas and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.
