Israel Says Open to Deal that Includes 'Ending the Fighting' in Gaza
- On May 18, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated Israel was open to a deal with Hamas to end fighting in Gaza amid ongoing conflict and indirect talks in Qatar.
- The negotiations follow the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that took 251 hostages and triggered a war causing over 53,000 deaths and a blockade on Gaza since March 2, 2025.
- The proposed deal includes releasing all hostages, exiling Hamas militants, and disarming Gaza, while talks have opened with no preconditions and involve exchanging positions to bridge differences.
- Recent Israeli airstrikes killed dozens, including children, amid humanitarian crisis warnings from the UN about severe shortages of food, water, fuel, and medicine due to the blockade.
- The situation implies mounting international concern and public pressure on Israel to lift the blockade, while negotiations continue but a total Hamas defeat remains a key Israeli condition.
