Hamas reports Netanyahu's rejection of a comprehensive truce, instead preferring to address ceasefire matters piecemeal.
Rewritten Article:
Hamas shared a five-year truce vision with Israel on Friday, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly rejected it, according to Anadolu. This proposal included a permanent end to aggression, full Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza, lifting the siege, and humanitarian aid, among other factors.
In a statement on Hamas' digital platforms, senior official Abdel Rahman Shadid explained that the proposal, which also involved the release of Israeli prisoners in Gaza, would lead to a five-year ceasefire. Furthermore, the administration of Gaza would be managed by an independent committee.
However, Netanyahu's government allegedly dismissed Hamas' proposal, favoring segmented discussions and refusing to commit to ending the hostilities, even at the cost of Israeli captives in Gaza. According to Shadid, Hamas has been serious and responsible in their negotiations with mediators for a permanent truce.
He accused the US and other countries supporting Israel of being accountable for war crimes, genocide, and starvation tactics in Gaza. Israeli estimates suggest there are 59 captives in Gaza, with 24 estimated to be alive. In contrast, more than 9,500 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel under harsh conditions, with reports of torture, starvation, and medical neglect.
Since October 2023, over 52,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza due to the intense Israeli airstrikes, the majority of whom were women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza in November. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its attacks on the enclave.
As the situation remains precarious, the US has proposed an aid plan for Gaza, bypassing Hamas. The plan is expected to be implemented following Trump's visit to the region as efforts are made to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage release with Hamas. International reactions are mixed, with some organizations pressured by the US to cooperate with the new aid plan. The Trump administration has hinted that US funding could be affected if these organizations do not participate.
