Negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas are advancing, with reports of a three-stage Paris ceasefire proposal being considered. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has met with families of hostages and emphasized that any deal will not come at any cost, stating red lines including not withdrawing IDF forces from Gaza or releasing thousands of terrorists. The first stage of the proposal includes the release of civilians, women, children, elderly, and the sick, followed by all male and female military personnel, and finally the release of bodies. Netanyahu has pledged 'total victory' over Hamas and ruled out key demands such as IDF withdrawal from populated areas for 6 weeks and mass prisoner release, despite international efforts by US and Arab officials to facilitate a safe release of hostages and a long truce. A Hamas delegation is expected to travel to Cairo for further talks, and there is cautious optimism about reaching an agreement early next week. Mossad chief David Barnea has presented a nine-point plan, which includes releasing 35 hostages in exchange for a 35-day truce.
