Israel Insists on Keeping Troops in Gaza. That Complicates Truce Talks with Hamas

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 09 – Negotiators aim to finalize a 60-day truce including staged release of 10 hostages, while humanitarian aid access is set to increase to previous ceasefire levels, officials said.

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump in Washington this week to discuss a US-backed 60-day ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
  • The proposal follows a truce collapse in March after Israel resumed airstrikes, reflecting ongoing tensions and Israel's demands for Hamas to accept the ceasefire.
  • Key issues include Hamas’s agreement to release ten living hostages and bodies of 18 captives, Israel's insistence on retaining troop positions, and demands for humanitarian aid flow and guarantees of permanent peace.
  • Netanyahu stated the plan “should be fulfilled,” supporting voluntary Palestinian emigration from Gaza, while human rights groups condemned the plan as a prelude to forced evacuation, calling it illegal under international law.
  • Far-Right Israeli coalition members threaten to topple Netanyahu if he accepts a permanent ceasefire, complicating negotiations amid ongoing violence with rising casualties on both sides.
