Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the Egyptian initiative for a short-term truce with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced, in a joint press conference held with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, yesterday that his country had put forward an initiative for a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestinian factions, starting with two days, then 10 days, interspersed with negotiations to exchange a number of prisoners from both sides. .

The Egyptian President indicated that the proposed initiative includes exchanging Israeli prisoners with some Palestinian prisoners, the number of whom was not specified.

For its part, Hebrew media, including Channel 12 and the official Broadcasting Authority, reported that the Egyptian initiative includes the release of 4 living Israeli prisoners.

The channel confirmed that the security establishment in Israel also supported the proposal, and despite the continued mediation efforts of Qatar and Egypt for months, presenting one agreement proposal after another to end the war on Gaza and exchange prisoners, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to set new conditions that include “continuing control over the Philadelphia border axis between Gaza and Gaza.” Egypt, the Rafah crossing in Gaza, and preventing the return of Palestinian faction fighters to northern Gaza (by searching returnees through the Netzarim corridor in the middle of the Strip).
