Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he "will not agree to a deal with Hamas except under Israel’s conditions to end the war in the Gaza Strip and release the captives all at once."

Netanyahu’s office stated that the Prime Minister announced he would agree to a deal with Hamas under Tel Aviv’s conditions, which are: "the release of all hostages (Israeli captives) at once, the disarmament of Hamas and the Strip, Israeli security control over it, and the formation of a government not affiliated with either Hamas or the Palestinian Authority."

Hamas has repeatedly declared its readiness to release the Israeli captives "all at once," in exchange for ending the genocide, the withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners.
