There are also questions on the timing of the release and how many Palestinian prisoners will be freed for each hostage.<\/p>\n<p>Brigadier General Yisrael Ziv, a former commander of the Gaza district, said that Israel\u2019s first priority must be to bring the hostages home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first priority is to maximize the option for the deal,\u201d Ziv said. \u201cWe understand that the time is running out for the life of the hostages and the maximum pressure is about that \u2013 how many people alive we can evacuate through such a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel also has questions about reported guarantees that the U.S. and Egypt gave Hamas that Israel will not restart the war in Gaza and that the cease-fire will continue indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>A U.S. government spokesman would not comment on the reports.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli government spokesman David Mencer said that even though the Hamas proposal falls far short of what Israel wants, Israel will negotiate in good faith.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe war cabinet unanimously decided that Israel will continue its operation in Rafah in order to apply military pressure on Hamas to release our hostages and achieve all the war\u2019s objectives,\u201d Mencer said. \u201cDespite Hamas\u2019 grandstanding, Hamas\u2019 proposal is far from Israel\u2019s core demands. Nevertheless, Israel will dispatch a ranking delegation to Egypt to maximize any chance of an agreement on terms acceptable to Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wsw__embed\">\n<figure class=\"media-image js-media-expand\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n<div class=\"thumb\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Smoke rises after an Israeli strike as Israeli forces launch a ground and air operation in the eastern part of Rafah, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, May 7, 2024.\" src=\"https:\/\/gdb.voanews.com\/01000000-0aff-0242-a32c-08dc6ebf1279_cx0_cy6_cw100_w250_r1_s.jpg\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"ico ico-fullscreen ico--media-expand ico--rounded\"\/>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<span class=\"caption\">Smoke rises after an Israeli strike as Israeli forces launch a ground and air operation in the eastern part of Rafah, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, May 7, 2024.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Tuesday, Israeli tanks and troops took over the Palestinian side of the crossing between Israel and Egypt. The Palestinian Authority called on the U.S. to stop Israel from invading the city of Rafah.<\/p>\n<p>Ziv said the Israeli action to take over the crossing was a limited operation and not the large-scale invasion Israel has threatened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of the operation is mainly to leverage the negotiations being done this time,\u201d Ziv said, \u201ctrying to get a better deal, or to lower the demands of Hamas asking Israel to stop the war and to get into a full cease-fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the war hits the seven-month mark, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said the death toll is close to 35,000, although that includes fighters and civilians.<\/p>\n<p>More than 1,300 people in Israel have been killed \u2013 most of them in the initial October 7 attack by Hamas \u2013 and
