Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his commitment to an Israeli ceasefire and hostage release proposal supported by the United States. The proposal, endorsed by US President Joe Biden, aims to secure the release of all remaining hostages in exchange for a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Netanyahu faced criticism after suggesting a partial deal with Hamas for the return of only some hostages, contrary to the approved proposal. This led to backlash from Israeli politicians and families of hostages, who labeled his comments as a national failure.
