Netanyahu rejects Hamas conditions for Israeli hostage deal

13 Sept 08:19 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Netanyahu unequivocally rejected Hamas's demands for a hostage deal, which included a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, an end to the war, the release of all Palestinian prisoners, and Hamas retaining power.
Hamas responded that Netanyahu's refusal to end the military offensive eliminates any chance for the return of Israeli captives.
Netanyahu faces intense pressure from hostage families who demand immediate action and a deal to secure the release of the remaining 136 hostages.
Netanyahu also reiterated his firm opposition to Palestinian statehood, insisting on full Israeli security control over all territory west of the Jordan River, directly contradicting U.S. President Biden's recent suggestions.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
