On the evening of October 4 local time, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying that Egypt will host the talks between Israel and Hamas delegations on October 6. The talks will be around the Gaza ¡°20-point plan¡± to discuss on-site conditions and detailed arrangements for the exchange of personnel. After being informed that Hamas announced acceptance of part of the ¡°20-point plan¡±, Israel and Hamas will resume talks on a ceasefire.Israeli people have expressed their hope that Israel will reach a ceasefire agreement with Hamas as soon as possible¡£

Local residents of Zvicka:I and many Israelis feel that it is necessary to end this war, and this ceasefire is important to bring the captives home, the soldiers home, and the country back to normality.

Local resident Moran:Most importantly, I hope Israel can reach a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, and a week ago there were rumors about a ceasefire, and then my friends and I were thrilled.We all said that if a ceasefire really happened, it was really the best thing that could happen now, and we waited too long.

Israeli politicians worry about disrupting ceasefire

Some Israelis are also worried about the prospect of a ceasefire. They believe that,Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and far-right forces in Israeli politics could undermine the ceasefire process for political purposes¡£

Families of Israeli detainees Jill:We lost our most precious loved ones because Netanyahu and his political partners had blocked a ceasefire agreement that could have saved our loved ones and saved more lives. Netanyahu missed and ruined the opportunity to save people. Now, we are at a critical moment, the most critical moment since October 7, 2023. We cannot undermine or miss the opportunity for a ceasefire again.

Families of Israeli detainees:We¡¯ve never been so close to the release of all the detainees, and we also know that the closer they get to the release, the more critical these days will be for Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gevre, for Finance Minister Smotrich, and for Prime Minister Netanyahu to try to undermine our chance of reunion with our loved ones.
