Israel is ready to end the bombardment in Gaza “tomorrow”, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told his French counterpart in France, according to Al Jazeera.

“The way is very simple,” the minister 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,” Saar said.
