Netanyahu's words are quoted by The Times of Israel.

“We are on the path to complete victory, and it is close. We are not talking about years or tens of years, but months,” he said.

According to the prime minister, the Israel Defense Forces are “working miracles.”

Hamas previously proposed a three-stage ceasefire plan in the Gaza Strip. It includes the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops, the restoration of the Gaza Strip's infrastructure and the exchange of hostages and bodies of the dead.

After this, NBC News, citing a source, stated that the Israeli authorities will never agree to the ceasefire plan proposed by Hamas, which implies the withdrawal of Israeli army forces from the Gaza Strip.
