Netanyahu says all Israeli conditions must be met for ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that a ceasefire agreement requires the release of all captives based on Tel Aviv's specific conditions for ending the war. These conditions include the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarisation of Gaza, and Israeli control over the territory. Furthermore, Israel demands the establishment of a new governance system that excludes both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. The statement comes as mediators, including Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, have reportedly renewed pressure on Israel for a pause in the conflict.
