Hamas Signals Conditional Hostage Release Amid Gaza Conflict and Israeli Cabinet Tensions

News summary

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a potential cabinet crisis as far-right Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and his Otzma Yehudit party threaten to leave the government if Hamas continues to exist after the release of hostages under President Donald Trump's peace plan. Trump's proposal calls for the release of hostages, disarmament of Hamas, amnesty for those committing to peaceful coexistence, and safe passage for others, urging an immediate halt to Israeli bombing in Gaza. Hamas has expressed conditional acceptance of parts of Trump's plan, including hostage release and transferring Gaza administration to independent Palestinian technocrats, but insists many details still require negotiation, leaving the peace process uncertain. The Israel Defense Forces continue to face fierce resistance from a younger, less experienced but determined generation of Hamas militants in Gaza City, complicating military advances. Analysts suggest Hamas's engagement with the peace plan may be a tactical move to retain influence in Gaza's future governance, while Netanyahu is caught between internal political pressures and international demands for peace. The situation remains tense with negotiations ongoing, as global leaders stress that Hamas should not be part of future Gaza authority, and Netanyahu's government stability hinges on the outcomes of these developments.
