Bowing to unprecedented global pressure and intense U.S. diplomacy, the Israeli government has accepted a framework for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. A senior official confirmed the decision, which aligns Israel with a U.S. proposal demanding the release of all hostages and the disarmament of Hamas in exchange for an end to the war.
This move comes after months of growing international calls for Israel to find a path to de-escalation and address the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The government’s acceptance signals a recognition that a purely military solution may be unattainable or unsustainable in the face of global opposition.
The framework itself is a testament to the diplomatic efforts aimed at finding a middle ground. It allows Israel to achieve its core aims of freeing the hostages and neutralizing the military threat from Hamas, but through a negotiated settlement rather than prolonged warfare.
With Israel’s position now aligned with the international consensus, the pressure has shifted entirely to Hamas. The group now faces a united front of global powers urging it to accept the deal and bring an end to the conflict, making a rejection of the offer more diplomatically costly than ever before.
