Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemns Hamas propaganda video showing severely emaciated Israeli hostage Evyatar David, calling it criminal Nazi abuse.

The renewed push for a deal comes as Israeli forces are preparing for a new significant offensive focused on the occupation of Gaza City.

Hamas says it has accepted a proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the 22-month war sparked by its Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel intends to take control of the entire Gaza Strip. He blamed Hamas for every humanitarian concern brought up by FNC's Bill Hemmer during an interview on Thursday.

Few of the Israelis taken hostage in the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, have drawn as much attention as the Bibas family — two parents and two small children. For many Israelis, their abductions came to symbolize the brutality of the assault.

Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal for Gaza, potentially releasing hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

In the statement, the Israeli PM also mentioned that the Netanyahu government and IDF are working on their plans regarding Gaza City.

Some members of Israel’s coalition have ruled out a proposed hostage deal with Hamas, but the prime minister has yet to state his position.

"It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas’s refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews, and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets. " Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned French President Emmanuel Macron that his recent statements about recognizing a Palestinian state have fueled antisemitism in France and emboldened Hamas in a strongly worded letter.

RAFAH, Egypt (AP) — Hamas said Monday it has accepted a new proposal from Arab mediators for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip that would still need Israel’s approval, as Gaza’s Health Ministry said the Palestinian death toll from 22 months of war has passed 62,000.
