Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled a dramatic shift in tone, suggesting Hamas could be offered immunity if it releases the remaining hostages and leaves the Gaza Strip.

“We’ll let them out,” Netanyahu said, hinting at a possible amnesty arrangement for the militant group. The comments mark a sharp departure from his long-standing position that only the complete destruction of Hamas, including its leadership, would end the three-year war in Gaza.

The remarks appear to align with leaked details of President Trump’s proposed peace plan. According to reports, the plan would grant Hamas leaders safe passage out of Gaza if the remaining 48 hostages are released within 48 hours of Israel’s formal acceptance of the deal.

While the proposal signals a potential breakthrough in the prolonged conflict, it also raises questions about whether Israel’s public and political establishment will accept immunity for Hamas after years of bloodshed.
