But Hamas’s acceptance fell short of what could be an essential point for Israel: The notion of surrendering its weapons.

Under the plan, Hamas would surrender, release all hostages, disarm and relinquish any future role in Gaza’s governance — all points Netanyahu has insisted on throughout many rounds of fruitless Qatari-brokered negotiations with Hamas.

He said the flags of the UK "belong to all of us and we will never surrender them".

Many believe he has never wanted to negotiate an end to this war, but to force Hamas into a surrender on Israel's terms.
