Netanyahu adds new conditions to swap deal, Galant: Talk of absolute victory is 'nonsense'
World| 12 August, 2024 - 3:29 PM
"Israel has only one choice, which is to achieve victory, and these directives of the prime minister are binding on everyone, including Galant," the office said.
In the same context, Israeli Channel 12 quoted people close to Netanyahu as saying that the Prime Minister is not currently thinking of dismissing Galant despite the dispute.
Yedioth Ahronoth also quoted people close to Netanyahu as saying that the prime minister is not affected by criticism and realizes that Galant cannot be dismissed in the war.
Lapid's criticism
For his part, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said that the October 7 attack occurred because the judicial coup led by Netanyahu weakened security in Israel. He added that this is the right time to go for a deal and return the prisoners.
Lapid considered that there are parties in Netanyahu's government calling for an eternal war, and that the world looks at them with astonishment and distances itself from Israel. He called for forming a regional alliance against Iran with Arab countries, which would also be part of the solution in Gaza.
Hamas's position
Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) demanded that the mediators present a plan to implement what the movement accepted on July 2, based on the vision of US President Joe Biden, and Security Council Resolution 2735, and obligate Israel to do so, instead of going to a new round of negotiations.
The movement warned, in a statement, that entering into new rounds of negotiations or proposals would provide cover for Israel to continue its aggression, and give it more time to perpetuate the war of genocide against the Palestinian people.
The movement stressed its keenness, from the beginning, to make the efforts of the mediating brothers in Qatar and Egypt successful, to reach a ceasefire agreement that would end the war of genocide in Gaza, noting that it had held several rounds of negotiations, and provided all the necessary flexibility and positivity, to achieve the goals and interests of the Palestinian people and stop their bloodshed.
Haaretz newspaper quoted Israeli sources as saying that Hamas's rejection of the new proposals does not mean the collapse of talks with Israel.
The sources added that Hamas's call for mediators to present a plan to implement Biden's proposals is a tactical move aimed at applying pressure before resuming negotiations.
