Israelis Ben_Gvir: Suspects an attempt to "whitewash a foolhardy gossip proposal"

Israeli minister of national security Ben Gvir is on the wires saying:

• Suspects an attempt to whitewash a foolhardy Gaza proposal
• repeats threat to quit government if Netanyahu enters Gaza deal that doesn't entail toppling Hamas

Over the weekend it was reported that:

• Israel agreed to the framework for President Biden’s plan to end the war in Gaza, though it’s considered "not a good deal."
• Biden announced a three-part plan leading to a complete cease-fire and release of hostages.
• The deal is not yet finalized, with Israel's official position unclear.
• US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called it an “Israeli proposal” after intense diplomacy.

Netanyahu's statement opposed a permanent cease-fire until Israel's conditions are met: destroying Hamas’s capabilities, freeing hostages, and ensuring Gaza poses no threat to Israel.
