Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that he was ready to negotiate a “permanent ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip during the 60 -day truce, provided that the Palestinian pocket would be demobilized.

“At the beginning of the truce (60 days) we will start negotiations on the definitive end of the war,” Netanyahu said in a video message released today, amid indirect talks with Hamas. However, he set many terms: “Hamas must testify, Gaza to demobilize, Hamas no longer have military or government potential.”

“If they can be achieved by negotiation, the better. Otherwise, we will achieve them by other means, with the power of our heroic army, “he added.

These statements were made while the Negotiations in Doha continued for the fifth day to achieve a truce and the liberation of all hostages held in Gaza.

Relatives of the hostages ask that they all be liberated together, but Netanyahu said it was not dependent on Israel. “We negotiate with a brutal terrorist organization and we want to release them all at the same time. But this is not in our hands, “he said in this message.

Of the 251 people abducted on October 7, 2023 from Hamas, 49 remain in the Gaza Strip but the Israeli army believes that 27 of them are dead
