Israel Backs Comprehensive Deal: A Ceasefire for Security and Freedom for Hostages

Israel is backing a comprehensive deal that offers a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for security guarantees and the freedom of its hostages. A senior official has confirmed the government’s acceptance of the U.S. proposal, which requires the complete disarmament of Hamas.
This approach frames the deal in terms of Israel’s two primary objectives: security for its people and freedom for its citizens held captive. By accepting the proposal, the government is signaling that it believes this negotiated settlement can achieve what months of warfare have not yet fully delivered.
The security guarantee comes from the demand that Hamas lay down its arms, a condition designed to prevent any future attacks. The freedom for hostages is the urgent humanitarian component that has galvanized Israeli society and put immense pressure on the government to find a solution.
With Israel’s backing, the comprehensive deal is now a formal offer. The diplomatic world is abuzz as mediators work to secure Hamas’s agreement. The proposal represents a clear choice between a future of peace and reconstruction, or a return to devastating conflict.
