Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar: Israel could end Gaza war ‘tomorrow’ if Hamas frees hostages, exits Strip

Sa’ar said Thursday after meeting his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot in Paris. Israel is ready to end the war in Gaza “tomorrow” in exchange:
1. for the release of hostages
2. and an end to Hamas’s presence in Gaza

“The way is very simple,” Sa’ar said, “hostages back, Hamas out.”

“We are still giving a chance to negotiations to extend the ceasefire and release our hostages on the basis of [US special envoy Steve] Witkoff’s proposal, but it is not open-ended,” he warned, referencing a proposal that would secure the release of five Israeli hostages.

Iran:
Sa’ar stressed that Iran was a threat to the entire region and not just to Israel, adding Israel was in talks with France, Britain, and the United States.
“We don’t exclude a diplomatic path with Iran,” he added.

Concern is mounting as talks with Iran appear to have reached an impasse while the window for negotiating a new treaty with Tehran is set to close in the fall
