\u201cThe Prime Minister\u2019s Office clarifies that Israel will agree to a deal on condition that all the hostages are released in one go,” the statement read.<\/p>\n
Amid renewed reports of Hamas flexibility on a phased ceasefire-hostage agreement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a>\u2019s office declared that Israel will only accept a comprehensive deal that secures the release of all captives at once on Saturday night.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Prime Minister\u2019s Office clarifies that Israel will agree to a deal on condition that all the hostages are released in one go, and in accordance with our conditions for ending the war, which include the disarming of Hamas, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Israeli control of the Gaza perimeter, and the installation of non-Hamas and non-Palestinian Authority governance that will live in peace with Israel,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n The clarification came as Hamas was reported to be reconsidering the so-called Witkoff proposal by US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. He proposed a 60-day ceasefire plan<\/a> under which roughly half of the remaining hostages would be freed, followed by negotiations on a permanent truce. Netanyahu dismissed that approach on Saturday night, reiterating that he \u201cwill not agree to a partial deal.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Israel is preparing for a new stage of its Gaza campaign. Beginning Sunday, the IDF will start transferring tents and shelter equipment into southern Gaza to house hundreds of thousands of civilians expected to be displaced ahead of an offensive to seize Gaza City.<\/p>\n The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) tweeted that the aid movement<\/a> is designed to facilitate civilian evacuation.<\/p>\n \u201cIn accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and as part of the IDF preparations to move the population from combat zones to southern Gaza for their protection, the supply of tents and shelter equipment to Gaza will resume tomorrow,\u201d COGAT said. \u201cThe aid will be transferred through the Kerem Shalom crossing by the UN and international organizations, following a thorough security inspection.\u201d<\/p>\nPreperation for continued of fighting in Gaza<\/h3>\n
