Israel’s war on Gaza could ‘end tomorrow’: Israel’s former justice minister
Yossi Beilin, a former justice minister of Israel, says that the war on Gaza could “end tomorrow” if the Palestinian Authority were to enter Gaza and replace Hamas.
He told Al Jazeera by video link from Tel Aviv that if Hamas released the Israeli captives, “then nothing will continue as it is today”.
When pressed on the fact that Hamas has offered to release all of the remaining captives in ceasefire negotiations and that Netanyahu and his cabinet have stalled such a move for political reasons, Beilin said “let us test him … if Hamas tomorrow say OK … we want only peace … and we are releasing the hostages, let us see if Netanyahu is able to say no.”
“Palestinians are suffering, no question. Israelis are suffering, no question. Let’s put an end to it,” he said.
Am I crazy? Hamas offers A, Netanyahu rejects. Belin: If Hamas offers A, let us see if Netanyahu rejects. ???
Anyway it's not about the hostages, Netanyahu already has repeatedly stated his impossible conditions for ending the genocide (basically by completing it)

“One week ago, I convened the Cabinet and we set five principles for ending the war,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew remarks, referencing the Aug. 8 decision to order the military to take control of Gaza City.
Netanyahu went on to list the five conditions for victory, including the full disarmament of Hamas; the return of all 50 remaining hostages kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023; the demilitarization of the entire Strip; security control of Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces; and establishing “an alternative civilian administration” in the enclave.
Israel needs to be demilitarized. That's the only way for peace to come to the region.
Israel announces plan to forcibly relocate Palestinians to southern Gaza
Israel has announced preparations to forcibly evacuate Palestinians from “combat zones” to southern Gaza from tomorrow. The army’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the move would be based on directives from the “political level”.
“The provision of tents and shelter equipment for the residents of the sector will be renewed. The equipment will be transported through the Kerem Shalom [Karem Abu Salem] crossing by the United Nations and international relief organisations after undergoing thorough inspection by personnel from the Land Crossings Authority affiliated with the Ministry of Defense,” Adraee wrote on X.
The announcement comes a week after the government approved controversial plans to seize Gaza City.
