Threats from Netanyahu
For his part, he sent a stern message to Hamas. In his post, he emphasizes that he will not proceed with the truce until he receives in his hands the list of the names of the Israeli hostages.
“We will not be able to proceed with the framework until we receive the list of hostages to be released as agreed. Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement. Hamas is solely responsible” he says in his message.

Earlier, Israel’s military said it struck 50 “terrorist targets” along the Gaza Strip yesterday, according to a statement today. Additionally, an IDF spokesman stated that Israel’s military is ready to continue operations against Hamas.
Israel’s national security minister has resigned
At the same time, Itamar Ben Gvir submitted his resignation from the position of Minister of National Security. The far-right politician emphasized that he took this action as a “sign of protest” for the cease-fire agreement in Gaza.
Essentially, this is a development that was announced last Thursday. At the time he had declared that both he and his party would quit the government if the ceasefire happened.
“This deal sacrifices the IDF’s wartime achievements. The withdrawal of IDF forces from Gaza and an end to the fighting in Gaza is nothing short of a surrender to Hamas.” stated in the announcement of his party.
