Israel has signaled that a permanent ceasefire in Gaza could be on the table—but only if a temporary deal with Hamas is secured first. The announcement came during a high-stakes diplomatic week, blending cautious hope with ongoing tensions. 🌍⚖️
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar emphasized the country’s commitment to negotiations during a press conference in Bratislava, stating: "Israel is serious in its bid to reach a hostage deal and a ceasefire." An Israeli delegation remains in Doha, Qatar, working on a proposed 60-day truce that would free 10 living hostages and return the remains of others. 💬🔍
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on Israel’s goals after meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump, vowing to "eliminate Hamas's military and governing capabilities" while securing the release of all hostages. No breakthroughs were announced, but talks continue amid staggering humanitarian costs: over 57,000 lives lost and 70% of Gaza’s infrastructure destroyed since October 2023. 🕊️💔
As global pressure mounts, the path to peace remains fragile. Will temporary talks pave the way for lasting calm? Stay tuned. 📡✨
