National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir explicitly rejected the draft agreement published by the Peace Council, stating it is unacceptable to Israel, according to i24NEWS. The statement, made at 16:59 Jerusalem, follows his earlier remarks earlier today outlining conditions for any deal, including continued targeted killings of Hamas operatives, encouragement of Palestinian emigration, and ensuring Israeli victory.
At 16:19 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Ben-Gvir had rejected the proposed agreement, warning that halting eliminations would allow Hamas to reorganize. He also criticized anonymous briefings attributed to "political sources," calling them "despised." At 16:41 Jerusalem, The Zioneer further detailed his conditions, emphasizing that the deal must not halt terror eliminations and must include the encouragement of Palestinian emigration.
The Peace Council, an Israeli group, has been promoting a framework for a ceasefire and hostage deal. The specifics of the draft agreement have not been disclosed. Ben-Gvir's comments highlight the ongoing political debate in Israel over the terms of any potential arrangement with Hamas.
