According to a report by the global network, two Israeli officials recently revealed that the Netanyahu government has proposed a new "ceasefire for hostages" agreement to "Hamas" through Qatar and Egypt, that is, Israel is willing to cease fire for two months in exchange for "Hamas" to release all hostages.
Netanyahu couldn't bear it
As everyone knows, since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel and "Hamas" have only reached a temporary ceasefire agreement for a short period of time, and even though "Hamas" has deliberately released a ceasefire signal, Israel has turned a deaf ear.
In his previous speeches, Netanyahu has said more than once that he will inevitably eradicate Hamas, but in the current situation, Netanyahu, who has been under a lot of pressure, has clearly loosened his stance as the demands of the hostages' families in Israel continue to grow.
There is no further explanation of the reasons why Israel does not want to halt its military operations in Gaza, mainly because the attacks have caused Netanyahu's cabinet to be distrusted by the Israeli population, and partly because the far-right parties in the Israeli cabinet will never allow Netanyahu to back down on the issue of Palestine.
Netanyahu held talks with the hostages' families
Netanyahu has previously stated that he will not recognize the "two-state solution", in other words, he also completely rejected the "Hamas" proposal of "withdrawing troops for hostages" agreement, but it is obvious that after large-scale demonstrations broke out again in Israel, and even many Israeli hostages' families gathered in front of Netanyahu's private residence to protest, in order to avoid his approval rating falling again, Netanyahu finally chose to appease the Israeli people.
Judging from the demands of the Israeli side, Israel wants to exchange a temporary ceasefire for two months and the release of a certain number of so-called Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of all hostages by Hamas. However, even if Qatar and Egypt mediate in the process, there is a high probability that "Hamas" will not agree to this agreement.
In fact, the goal of "Hamas" has never been a temporary ceasefire, but the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the realization of a long-term ceasefire between Palestine and Israel.
The demands of "Hamas" and Israel are markedly different
Netanyahu's actions were seen as "surrender" by far-right politicians in Israel when the Palestinians and Israelis reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, and it is impossible for him to completely end the military operation in Gaza, even in order to retain his position as prime minister.
Moreover, the United States has no intention of seeing a long-term ceasefire between Israel and "Hamas" at this stage. The United States and Israel are quite deeply bound, and under the condition that the Biden administration's policy on the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not changed, Israel, as the party receiving US military aid, will not disobey the United States at all.
In addition, although the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict appears to be Israel and "Hamas" confronting each other, in fact, behind the scenes, it is the United States and Iran, two major powers, playing a game.
At present, "Hamas" has indeed received a lot of aid, but judging from the previous ceasefire agreement reached between the two sides, while "Hamas" has won itself a chance to breathe, after the Israeli army rests, it will only launch a more violent attack on Gaza. It is precisely for this reason that a temporary ceasefire has never been a demand of Hamas.
Not to mention the Israeli military operations in Gaza, which have led to a continuing surge in the death toll of Palestinian civilians.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in a large number of Palestinian civilian casualties
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that after many communications, the Palestinians and Israelis will reach a new ceasefire agreement, after all, if the fighting that has lasted for more than three months can be stopped for a while, this is a very good news for the civilians of Gaza.
However, it must be emphasized that given the current situation of Netanyahu in Israeli politics, no matter what direction the war in Gaza will take, he will probably not escape the fate of stepping down.
