Netanyahu outlines five principles for ending war, including Israel holding security control over Gaza

Netanyahu outlines Israel's five conditions to end the Gaza conflict, emphasizing disarmament, hostage return, and Israeli security control.

"We will not give up on a single one. — Benjamin Netanyahu"

Tel Aviv, August 15

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Thursday, issued a statement outlining the five principles for ending the war in Gaza that Israel's security cabinet settled on in a meeting one week ago.

The five principles are: Hamas must be disarmed, all hostages - the living and the deceased - are to be returned. "We will not give up on a single one," declared Netanyahu. The Gaza Strip is to be demilitarised. Not only must Hamas be disarmed, but it must be ensured that weapons will neither be produced in Gaza nor smuggled into it.

The fourth one will be, there will be Israeli security control in the Gaza Strip, including the security perimeter. There will be an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority - people who will neither educate their children for terrorism, nor finance terrorism, nor dispatch terrorism.

"These five principles will ensure the security of Israel. This is the meaning of the word 'victory'," said Netanyahu. (ANI/TPS)

While Israel has right to defend itself, continuous occupation isn't solution. Look at Kashmir issue - military control only breeds more resentment. Need political solution with international mediation.

Netanyahus conditions make sense. After 26/11 Mumbai attacks, we also demanded Pakistan dismantle terror camps. But who will ensure new administration in Gaza won't be corrupt like Palestinian Authority? Big challenge!

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is heartbreaking. India should use its diplomatic channels to push for ceasefire and aid delivery while supporting Israel's security needs. Balance is key.

India-Israel defense cooperation has benefited our security. But we must be careful not to blindly support everything Israel does. Our foreign policy should remain balanced in Middle East.

The condition about education reform is most important! Palestinian kids are taught to hate Jews. Just like we reformed Kashmiri textbooks to remove Pak propaganda. Education builds peace ☮️
