Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that any ceasefire agreement with Gaza must allow Israel the option to resume military operations to achieve its war objectives.
This stance comes amid discussions over a U.S.-mediated plan, involving Qatar and Egypt, aimed at ending the ongoing nine-month conflict. Netanyahu's conditions for a ceasefire include provisions that prevent weapons smuggling to Hamas via the Gaza-Egypt border. The conflict has seen both sides occupying and utilizing facilities, including those of the United Nations, raising international concerns.
Talks to reach a ceasefire are expected to restart, focusing on a three-phase plan proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden.
