Israel is ready to change its terms for a ceasefire in negotiations with Hamas

In an attempt to achieve a mutually acceptable outcome, Israel is ready to change its terms for a ceasefire in negotiations with Hamas mediated by Egypt. Tel Aviv agrees to reduce the number of hostages that the Palestinian movement could hand over in exchange for meeting their demands.

The Israeli portal Ynet reports this, citing sources.

Hamas demands that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) cease fire, and for this it will hand over a certain number of people it holds. The Israeli military, according to the changed conditions they are now offering, agrees to the release of not 40 hostages, but 33. All these citizens are women and children, as well as people suffering from mental and other illnesses. The Hamas leadership claims that there are not 40 representatives of these categories among the hostages.

But if earlier the IDF was ready to stop military operations for a period of six weeks for the release of hostages, then due to the reduction in the number of those released, it will also reduce the ceasefire period.

Thus, Israel proposes to establish a direct relationship between the number of hostages transferred and the duration of the suspension of hostilities. At the same time, the publication’s interlocutor said that the Israeli authorities hope that the concluded deal will be the first step towards a larger agreement with Hamas.

Previously, the movement expressed its readiness to stop its violent activities if Palestine is granted statehood.

There will be no ceasefire.
Israel will not rest until it disqualifies all Palestinians and takes their lands.

Look, the Jews have become a little wiser, although they resisted like a buffoon - the clown Zelya... And only this clown and drug addict, alas, does not become wiser in life...

Machito , this is not the question, Israel’s goals are clear, the question is that initially no negotiations were foreseen at all, Jerusalem demanded the complete and unconditional surrender of Hamas on its own terms, and now the bidding has begun, and the Israelis are not the right people to just start negotiations with such an enemy .

[Machito]

The economy of God's chosen ones sank. So they started talking about negotiations.
Israel's goal is to destroy Palestine first, then Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt.
Give me some water to drink, otherwise you want to eat so much that there is nowhere to spend the night.

The Jews have no faith, they will easily deceive the Hamas members, it is genetically programmed for them!!!!!

[Murmur 55]

The bidding has begun, which means that not everything is so good in Jerusalem, but what about the principled position since the beginning of the escalation and the Hamas raid?! What's stopping you?!

[faterdom]

Not good at all.
Especially the attempts to drag Iran and the United States into a big fight showed a certain common denominator: both would rather punish Israel than destroy a destructive war with each other.

The Jews, as always, will deceive... Without options...

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Right! It is better to trade than to fight.

Obviously, not everything is as simple as it seemed to Netanyahu at first. Even the destruction of entire neighborhoods did not help and we have to negotiate on individual issues.

Since childhood, I have heard it as an exceptional feature that distinguishes Jews from all other states: “Israel DOES NOT negotiate with terrorists!”
And now I understand - he’s leading, he’s leading! And before this was all because we did not face serious opponents. Even the same Hezbollah ten years ago was completely different. I think that if the conflict of 2006 happened now, the Jews would not dare to turn half of Lebanon into ruins because of one lousy corporal...

Israel was founded by terrorists; the state has been officially engaged in terrorism for almost 80 years, without even hiding it. In addition, Israel quite calmly negotiated with ISIS in order to ensure calm on the western border, so that “Israel DOES NOT negotiate with terrorists!” These are just beautiful words.
