US EditionNetanyahu says Israel to begin Gaza ceasefire negotiations to end war, release hostages
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to promptly begin talks aimed at securing the freedom of all hostages and bringing the conflict to a close as Israeli forces moved forward toward Gaza City.
- This follows the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251, igniting a conflict with ongoing Israeli military pressure on Gaza City.
- The Israel Defense Forces reported troops operating on Gaza City's outskirts with reinforcements en route, called up 60,000 reservists, and urged southward medical evacuations ahead of intensified operations.
- Netanyahu emphasized that the efforts to overcome Hamas and secure the release of all hostages are interconnected, while Hamas insists on a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces as conditions for freeing the remaining captives.
- Meanwhile, Israel's approval of the contested E1 West Bank settlement plan drew international condemnation for threatening a two-state solution amid protests and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
