Israel has communicated its commitment to the latest ceasefire and hostage release proposal to Hamas through mediators Qatar and Egypt. This move follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's clarification of his previous comments, where he initially seemed to dismiss the proposal but later affirmed Israel's support for it.
Netanyahu's statement at the Knesset was seen as a crucial correction, signaling Israel's willingness to engage in negotiations with Hamas. The Israeli government even shared a video segment of Netanyahu reiterating the country's commitment to the deal with the mediators, urging them to convey the message to Hamas.
