Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip "have created the conditions for progress in reaching an agreement" on the release of hostages, Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said tonight.
"We have achieved many important results, we have seriously weakened the military and governmental capacities of (the Palestinian movement) Hamas," Zamir told Israeli television.
According to him, thanks to the operational actions of the Israeli army, "conditions have been created for progress in the agreement on the release of hostages" as part of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
Zamir provided other details, while Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said earlier today that he was optimistic about reaching an agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip, adding that if a temporary ceasefire is reached, Israel will also negotiate a permanent ceasefire.
The war in the Gaza Strip began in October 2023.
