Hamas criticized the latest proposal as a “reversal” of previous agreements and accused the U.S. of yielding to “new conditions” set by Israel. The U.S. had not responded immediately to these claims.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed the families of fallen soldiers and hostages in Gaza that a primary goal is to “preserve our strategic security assets” despite significant pressures. Right-wing groups of families, opposing a cease-fire, reported that Netanyahu assured them Israel would not relinquish control over two key strategic corridors in Gaza. Netanyahu’s office did not comment on these reports.
The meeting took place as Israel’s military announced the recovery of the bodies of six hostages taken during Hamas’ October 7 attack, which initiated the ongoing conflict. This development has deepened the grief for many Israelis, who have been urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to agree to a cease-fire that could facilitate the return of the remaining hostages.
