Hamas is Open to a Ceasefire. But Netanyahu Says There's No Room For Hamas in Postwar Gaza
4 weeks ago
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed “there will be no Hamas” in postwar Gaza. Netanyahu made the comments on Wednesday. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. The U.S. leader has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire, and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war. Hamas said in a brief statement Wednesday that it had received a proposal from the mediators and is holding talks with them to “bridge gaps” to return to the negotiating table to try to reach a ceasefire agreement.
