Hamas has accepted the broad outline of the plan but requested ‘amendments.’ Netanyahu has publicly disputed aspects of it, even though the U.S. has framed it as an Israeli plan
This combination of photos shows Yahya Sinwar, head of Hamas in Gaza, in Gaza City, on April 13, 2022, left, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Oct. 28, 2023.Each leader faces significant political and personal pressures that may be influencing their decision-making. And neither seems to be in a rush to make concessions to end the devastating eight-month-long war and free hostages taken by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack.
Netanyahu himself has taken a tough line on the ceasefire, saying he will not end the war until Hamas’ military and governing capabilities are destroyed. Their departure from the government could lead to new elections, which would open him up to a vote that could end his rule and likely the start of investigations into the failures of Oct. 7.
Rahat said Netanyahu is also keen to push on with the war in the hopes that former U.S. President Donald Trump returns to office, possibly giving Israel more leeway in its fight against Hamas.
