Israel Sets Firm Conditions for Ending Gaza War, Says PM’s Office

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement Wednesday evening (3 September 2025), rejecting the latest messages from Hamas as “spin with nothing new.” The announcement came amid ongoing international discussions over the war in Gaza.

According to the statement, Israel’s Security Cabinet has laid out clear conditions for ending the conflict. Officials stressed that the fighting could stop immediately if these requirements are met.

Israel’s Conditions for Peace

The government outlined five key points:

  1. Release of all hostages still held in Gaza.

  2. Complete disarmament of Hamas.

  3. Demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.

  4. Israeli security control maintained in the territory.

  5. Creation of a new civil administration that does not promote terrorism, send militants, or pose threats to Israel.

Rejecting Hamas Messaging

The Prime Minister’s Office emphasized that Israel remains firm in its stance. “The war could end immediately on these conditions,” the statement declared, underscoring that Hamas’s recent statements do not alter the government’s position.

Wider Implications

The declaration signals Israel’s readiness to end the fighting once its security demands are guaranteed. However, it also highlights the deep divide between the two sides, as Hamas has previously rejected similar conditions.

International mediators are expected to continue efforts in the coming days, but Israeli officials made clear that only these five principles can bring the war to a close.
