Netanyahu Hamas hostages deal: Netanyahu dismisses Hamas demands for hostage release, Gaza death toll reaches over 25,000.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly rejected Hamas’ conditions for ending the Gaza war in exchange for the release of hostages. He labeled Hamas’ terms as “surrender” and stated that agreeing to such conditions would jeopardize Israel’s security. Hamas had demanded the end of the war, the release of Palestinian prisoners, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages. Netanyahu’s rejection of these terms comes at a time of deepening divisions within Israel’s war cabinet. War cabinet minister Gadi Eisenkot has suggested that defeating Hamas is an unrealistic aim and called for elections within months. Additionally, there is mounting pressure from the Israeli public to secure the release of captives in Gaza. Netanyahu is also facing criticism over his rejection of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As the conflict continues, Netanyahu remains under scrutiny over his handling of the situation, both domestically and internationally.
