In a video statement on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that Israel’s “victory” over Iran is an “opportunity” for further “peace agreements” in the region.
He did not specify what countries he was referring to, or if that also means he would finally agree to a ceasefire in Gaza.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority had reported earlier that US President Donald Trump is looking to strike a major deal that not only concludes Israel’s war on Gaza, but also returns Israeli captives and establishes diplomatic relations between an Arab nation and Israel.
“The victory opens an opportunity for a dramatic expansion of peace agreements – alongside the release of our hostages. There is a window here that must not be missed, not even a single day wasted,” Netanyahu said in his video.
In response, far-right Cabinet Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that while “expanding the Abraham Accords is a wonderful thing,” if it’s “a shiny wrapper for an existential threat in the form of dividing the land, handing over territories to the enemy, and establishing a Palestinian terror state, then no! Thank you.”
