The incoming Israel Security Agency director has a “tremendous mission ahead of him,” said the premier.
Israel halted offensive operations in Gaza overnight on Friday following Hamas’s response to a U.S. ceasefire proposal.
“A paradigm shift is needed in how Israel presents itself to the world,” the late conservative activist wrote in a May letter to the Israeli prime minister.
“This isn’t criticism of policy. This is delegitimization of the Jewish state,” the U.S. arm of the Betar movement stated.
“Hamas has no choice but to immediately release all hostages and follow this plan,” said French President Emmanuel Macron.
Instead of Hamas isolating the Jewish state, “we turned the tables and isolated Hamas,” Netanyahu said.
“I believe that today we’re taking a critical step towards both ending the war in Gaza and setting the stage for dramatically advancing peace in the Middle East.”
According to the plan, Hamas will disarm, and the Gaza Strip will become a “deradicalized terror-free zone” governed by a “technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee.”
During his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed “deep regret” to his Qatari counterpart for the death of a Qatari serviceman in Israel’s Sept. 9 strike on Hamas leaders in Doha, and vowed no such attack would be carried out in the future.
Jihan Abdalla, who works for an Emirati state-owned publication, has also said that the Israeli prime minister reserves the right to “kill innocents.”
The Religious Zionism leader laid down six points his party won’t compromise on, including a complete Hamas withdrawal from Gaza and permanent IDF presence at the perimeter.
According to the Yesha Council, the premier told them he would stress to U.S. President Donald Trump that the region is inseparable from Israel.
