Israel is committed to fighting Hamas until the militant group is eliminated and all the other goals of the war are achieved, PM Netanyahu said Sunday. He spoke after an Axios report said that the Biden govt has circulated amended language for some elements of its proposed deal on hostage releases and a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Citing sources, Axios said the US is working with Qatari and Egyptian mediators to make changes to what would up for discussion in the first stage of a proposed three-stage peace deal, in a bid to get both Israel and Hamas on board.Israel’s goals continue to include freeing the remaining hostages in Gaza and ensuring the area never constitutes a threat to Israel again, Netanyahu said at a weekly cabinet meeting.
