Prime Minister Netanyahu rebels amid increasing pressure for a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

The Prime Minister insists that Israel's management of the Philadelphia Corridor must be part of the ceasefire agreement.

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister, is pushing back against pressure to make more efforts to secure the release of the Israeli prisoners in Gaza after 11 months of fighting.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is facing widespread protests and pressure from U.S. President Joe Biden after the Israeli military recovered the bodies of 6 prisoners, including 23-year-old American-Israeli Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, over the weekend.

Both Egypt and Hamas deny such activities, while the Palestinians reject Israel's presence in the region.

Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that corridors are essential to prevent Hamas, which controls Gaza, from using tunnels for rearmament.

This is Hamas's lifeline: 'No one is more eager for the release of hostages than I am... No one should lecture me on this issue.'

Israel's key allies seem to be tired of his strong-arm tactics.

'We're very close to it,' Biden told reporters.

"Hope springs eternal," he added.

Biden said he intends to talk with Prime Minister Netanyahu "at some point," but he was not asked for a specific time. Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu have had several conversations since Israel launched a war in Gaza about a year ago.

Hamas senior official Sami Abu Zuhri said Biden's criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu is "America's perception that Prime Minister Netanyahu has undermined efforts to reach an agreement."

He said the group would respond positively to a proposal that can secure a ceasefire and a complete Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian enclaves.

Israeli protesters held a second day of street demonstrations on Monday, and the largest labor union began a general strike.

Months of negotiations mediated by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt failed to reach an agreement on Biden's Gaza proposal in May.

According to Israel, on October 7th, Hamas fighters launched a surprise attack on Israel, resulting in 1,139 deaths and around 250 people being taken as prisoners.

Since Israel began its attacks on Hamas-controlled areas, over 0.04 million Palestinians have died and nearly the entire population of 2.3 million has been displaced.
