Hamas Urges Pressure on Netanyahu Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism for his stance on the Philadelphi Corridor, a key obstacle in reaching a ceasefire deal in Gaza. Netanyahu insists on retaining control of the corridor to prevent weapon smuggling, despite calls for withdrawal.
Pressure is mounting on Netanyahu to end the conflict with mass protests domestically and international outrage over the high Palestinian death toll. Hamas accuses Netanyahu of prolonging the war and calls for adherence to the agreed ceasefire plan.
While some Israeli officials argue troops don’t need to be permanently based in Gaza, Egypt and the UAE join in demanding a timeline for Israel’s withdrawal from the corridor. Hamas warns against falling into Netanyahu’s traps and urges pressure on Israel to stick to the ceasefire agreement.
As the ceasefire talks continue, Netanyahu’s decisions and statements remain divisive, while the hope for a lasting peace in Gaza hangs in the balance.
