Re: Israel official says Gaza ceasefire proposal announced by Biden is 'victory to Hamas'

In a statement on Saturday, the Israeli government dismissed the plan and said Israel’s position had not hcanged.

“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” Netanyahu said.

“Under the proposal, Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put in place,” he continued. “The notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter.”
