Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rejecting previously discussed ceasefire terms, instead demanding conditions that amount to Palestinian surrender. He emphasizes that Netanyahu is pursuing negotiations under fire, continuing the war while offering no respite for Gaza. Bishara suggests that Netanyahu’s strategy centers on defeating Hamas, reoccupying Gaza, and imposing Israeli control, regardless of mounting pressure from protesters in Israel. He also warns that US policy appears to be closely aligned with Netanyahu’s approach, with little likelihood of meaningful change unless Arab states exert stronger pressure on Washington.
