The agreement obtained a break in the Gaza War of 15 months. Under the agreement, Hamas will release the hostages removed during the brutal assault on activists in October 2023 against Israel, which left around 1,200 dead and sparked a massive Israeli offensive which killed nearly 50,000 Palestinians. In exchange, the Israeli government will release Palestinian prisoners.
During Tuesday’s meeting, “we will deal with important problems, critical problems to which Israel and our region: Victory on Hamas, achieving the release of all our hostages and dealing with the Iranian terrorist axis in all its components” Posted Netanyahu on social networks site X, which belongs to the senior government official of Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
“The decisions we made during the war have already changed the face of the Middle East. Our decisions and the courage of our soldiers restarted the card, ”added Netanyahu. “But I believe that working in close collaboration with President Trump, we can redraw it even more and for the best.”
In the past year, Israel has sent troops to Lebanon and pushed into the demilitarized buffer zone between the heights of Golan, occupied by Israeli and Syria.
Trump, on the other hand, called last week to neighboring countries to welcome the Palestinians in Gaza, suggesting “we clean it up”. The Arab countries rejected this suggestion on Saturday.
