Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered negotiations for the release of all hostages and an end to the war in Gaza “on terms acceptable to Israel.”

It was Netanyahu's first response to a temporary ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar that Hamas accepted.

Soon, the gates of hell will open upon the heads of Hamas’s murderers and rapists in Gaza – until they agree to Israel’s conditions for ending the war” Defense

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says he blames a recent breakdown in Gaza ceasefire talks on the decision by some European leaders to recognize Palestinian statehood.

Protesters in Israel escalated their ongoing campaign on Sunday to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza.

Israel is studying Hamas' response to a proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and release of half the hostages still held in Gaza, two Israeli officials said, although one source reiterated that all Israeli captives must be freed for the war to end.

Qatar says it is "almost identical" to a US proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of 50 hostages would be released.

Israeli forces eliminated a Gaza terrorist involved in the Oct. 7 Kibbutz Nir Oz invasion and Yarden Bibas kidnapping during an Aug. 10 airstrike, the IDF and Shin Bet announced.
