Watan<\/strong><\/em>-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2014wanted by the International Criminal Court\u2014did not surprise Palestinians or observers when he rejected the amendments proposed by the Palestinian resistance to the Qatari ceasefire proposal for Gaza. His objective, analysts say, is to impose his own terms and vision for a resolution.<\/p>\n

A statement from Netanyahu\u2019s office confirmed that he received, \u201clast night, the amendments that Hamas requested to the Qatari proposal for a ceasefire,\u201d and declared them \u201cunacceptable.\u201d However, it added that Israel has accepted the invitation to engage in talks aimed at retrieving hostages based on the original Qatari framework.<\/p>\n

Hamas Sets Firm Conditions as Netanyahu Rejects Amendments to Gaza Ceasefire Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The statement noted that the Israeli negotiating delegation would depart for Doha today (Sunday) to resume indirect talks.<\/p>\n

Hamas had submitted its official response to the proposal to mediators on Friday evening, following internal consultations and discussions with Palestinian factions.<\/p>\n

According to Israeli Broadcasting Authority sources, Hamas insists on three core demands as conditions for modifying the agreement:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Returning to the previous model of distributing humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Extending the ceasefire as long as negotiations continue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    A clear and tangible withdrawal of Israeli forces from the areas they currently occupy in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Tel
    Palestinians accuse Israel of undermining negotiations by refusing essential demands, while analysts warn of a deeper plan to use the war to control and eventually displace Gaza\u2019s population.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    From the perspective of Palestinian analysts, the current proposal does not guarantee a true or even temporary ceasefire, nor a clear mechanism for aid or reopening border crossings.<\/p>\n

    Political analyst Dr. Abdullah Aqrabawi, speaking to Al Jazeera, criticized the Israeli position, stating that Israel avoids even using the word \u201cwithdrawal\u201d, preferring \u201credeployment.\u201d He added that Israel resists any real cessation of hostilities, instead framing it as a halt to \u201coffensive operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Aqrabawi further argued that Israel\u2019s refusal to change the aid distribution mechanism is designed to psychologically demoralize Gaza\u2019s civilians, allowing for continued death and suffering. \u201cFrankly,\u201d he said, \u201cthe proposal presented to the resistance leads to neither a permanent nor a temporary ceasefire. It does not open the crossings or ensure the entry of aid.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Many Palestinians remain deeply skeptical of the U.S. role, which they view as unconditionally biased toward Israel. Aqrabawi asserted that Washington has not offered any genuine guarantees for a lasting ceasefire, and that \u201cthe Americans are not neutral mediators, but partners in the crimes being committed in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he expected a deal \u201cwithin the week,\u201d yet failed to specify what would happen if negotiations collapsed during the proposed two-month truce window.<\/p>\n

    The Displacement Plan<\/h3>\n

    Other analysts point to the core issues raised by Hamas<\/a>\u2014aid access, a real ceasefire, and troop withdrawal\u2014as critical and non-negotiable.<\/p>\n

    Shadi Al-Sharafa, an expert in Israeli affairs, said on Al Jazeera that humanitarian aid should be guaranteed, but Israel is using it as a tool of blackmail against the Palestinian negotiating team.<\/p>\n

    Al-Sharafa believes Israel\u2019s insistence on maintaining control from the Morag axis in the south to the Philadelphi corridor is part of a broader strategy to convert that region into a massive detention zone, paving the way for population displacement.<\/p>\n

    According to internal Israeli military and political calculations, these negotiations are an opportunity to fulfill war-time objectives, including:<\/p>\n
