Netanyahu wants to release the hostages all at once

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the main goal in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza is to release all hostages at once. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The initial plan envisioned a 60-day ceasefire and the release of some hostages. Currently, Hamas representatives are conducting preliminary negotiations with Egyptian officials in Cairo.

According to reports, mediators are trying to reach an agreement in the coming weeks. After negotiations were halted last month, Israel announced plans to take control of all of Gaza.

In recent days, attacks in Gaza have intensified. According to the health ministry controlled by Hamas, at least 123 people have been killed in a single day.

In particular, the Zaytun district of Gaza City has been hit the hardest, with dozens of civilians, including children, killed in this area. Netanyahu emphasized that the war will not end until all hostages are returned.

According to Israeli sources, of the 251 people taken hostage during the October 7 attack, 50 are still in Gaza, of which 20 are alive. Egypt and Qatar are preparing a new proposal to halt the war in exchange for the release of all hostages.

Hamas is demanding the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops. The United Nations warns that the risk of famine in Gaza has sharply increased, and forced displacement of the population would violate international law.

Ceasefire processes are ongoing, and efforts are continuing to reach an agreement between the parties
