Israel will resume negotiations to end Gaza war and free hostages

# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says they will immediately resume negotiations for the release of all hostages held in Gaza and an end to the nearly two-year-old war, but on terms acceptable to them. It was his first response to a temporary ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar that Hamas accepted on Monday. An Israeli official says the country will dispatch negotiators to talks once a location is set. However, Reuters reports Netanyahu was still set on approving plans for defeating Hamas and capturing Gaza City.
