Netanyahu: Draft doesn’t include stopping the war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended an invitation to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir for a meeting to address the new proposal for the release of hostages and a potential ceasefire agreement with Hamas, local media reported on Monday. The invitation came in response to Ben Gvir’s threat of government dissolution if Netanyahu’s administration “continues to push for a deal and lead the agreement.” Local media reports indicate that Netanyahu assured Gvir that the new proposal does not encompass an end to the conflict in Gaza, contradicting the statements made by United States President Joe Biden.
