What is Israel's political reaction to Hamas's ceasefire proposal?
While there has been no official Israeli response to Hamas's ceasefire proposal, the idea is unpopular within Israeli political circles, especially among the right wing. The proposal, which would end the war while leaving Hamas in power both militarily and politically in Gaza, contradicts Prime Minister Netanyahu's stated objective. Netanyahu has repeatedly emphasized that Israel is committed to achieving the absolute destruction of Hamas in both military and political aspects. This stance complicates negotiations as the current Israeli government appears unwilling to accept any agreement that would allow Hamas to maintain control in Gaza after the conflict ends.
