He emphasized that he would end the war only after all the goals set were achieved, including the military and governmental eradication of Hamas and the return of all the hostages home.
Israel expressed optimism about reaching a deal after receiving Hamas' response.
A source involved in the negotiations said that the fundamental change is that the terrorist organization has given up its demand for guarantees to end the war, even before the humanitarian liberation begins.
