BREAKING: NETANYAHU UPDATE ON CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT

It's not final, but he hopes that in the coming days he will be able to update on the release of ALL the hostages, living and dead, in one go.

1st stage: Hamas will release ALL the hostages, IDF redeploys while retaining strategic areas in Gaza

2nd stage: Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza demilitarized, diplomatically or militarily

Only Israeli military and global diplomatic pressure forced Hamas to agree to this plan

Both Israel and the United States want to finish this in a matter of days, US will not tolerate delay

Israel withstood international pressure to succumb to Hamas' demands, would have meant ending the war before eliminating Hamas leadership, causing collapse of Assad regime, cutting off Hamas-run Gaza from Egyptian border, or eliminating Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat
