The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuhas insisted that his country’s latest peace proposal to end the Gaza war, announced yesterday by US President Joe Biden, remains subject to the political and military destruction of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.

Biden detailed this Friday a ‘road map’ proposed by Israel with three phases for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The first would last six weeks and would include a ceasefire with the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the most populated areas of Gaza and the release of some of the hostages, including women and elderly people, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The president explained that phase two includes the release of all remaining living hostages, including military personnel, and the Israeli Army will withdraw from the Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas. Finally, the third part of this ‘roadmap’ contemplates “an important reconstruction plan for Gaza.”

A proposal that, without completely ratifying it, they have admitted that it exists from the office of the Israeli prime minister. Yes indeed, clarifying that any end-of-war scenario implies for them “the destruction” of Hamas: “Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: the destruction of Hamas’s military and governance capacity, the release of all hostages and the guarantee that Gaza no longer represents a threat to Israel.”

In the statement, the office of the Israeli chief executive estimates that all these factors are “conditions that must be met” before a permanent ceasefire. “It is impossible to entertain the idea that Israel could agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are not met”they insist.

Hamas responds “positively” to Biden and remains silent regarding Netanyahu

During his appearance, Biden stressed that Qatar has transmitted this proposal to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which has ended up responding. Hamas has shown itself willing to address “positively” any proposal for a “permanent” ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

“Hamas welcomes the statements in today’s speech by US President Joe Biden and his call for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction and the exchange of prisoners (for hostages). ),” reads a statement from the Palestinian militia collected by the ‘Al Jazeera’ network.

However, its positive assessment does not imply acceptance of it, the response to which will probably not be in favor after the nuances imposed by Israel.
