Earlier, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it continues to work to promote an agreement on the Gaza Strip that will maximize the number of hostages released, and insists that the Israel Defense Forces remain in the corridor on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
In response, the Palestinian Hamas movement said that the new proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip provides for new Israeli conditions for the exchange of hostages and a withdrawal from a number of points, which, according to them, is another attempt by Netanyahu to prevent her imprisonment in order to “prolong the war.
