Strong Woman in Likud: “We Need to End the War”

Miri Peilberg Aicher Calls for a Political Solution

In a recent interview on Radio 90FM, Miri Peilberg Aicher, the Mayor of Netanya, addressed the current security situation and the ongoing conflict in Gaza, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic resolution. She proposed adopting an Egyptian framework that would promote stable governance in Gaza and create a safer buffer zstart between Israel and the territory, stating, “We cannot eliminate Hamas-it is an ideological movement, not just a collection of individuals.”

Urgent Need to Resolve Hostage Situation

Peilberg Aicher expressed a strong desire to conclude the war in Gaza while ensuring the release of all 50 hostages. Her comments reflect a growing sentiment for a practical approach to the hostilities. “If it were up to me, I would end the war in Gaza while liberating all the hostages,” she asserted.

Furthermore, she suggested that if ministers within the government resign as part of a hostage release agreement, it may necessitate fresh elections. “The Prime Minister should consider elections. Following the success on the Iranian front, if the hostages are indeed released, I believe Likud could secure 40 seats,” she added.

International Developments and Peace Efforts

Peilberg Aicher’s remarks are made in light of statements from U.S. President Donald Trump, who earlier indicated progress in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza. Concurrently, Palestinian-American businessman Beshara Bahbah, acting as a mediator between Hamas and the U.S., revealed that multiple proposals for a ceasefire are currently on the table.

In an interview with the Egyptian channel Al-Ghad, Bahbah clarified that there are numerous options, both comprehensive and partial, but the immediate goal is to achieve a ceasefire that allows humanitarian aid into Gaza. This would facilitate medical assistance for the population and provide pathways for those in urgent need to exit the area.

Conclusion

As discussions around a potential ceasefire gain momentum, Peilberg Aicher’s advocacy for a diplomatic solution highlights the complex interplay of local governance, international diplomacy, and humanitarian needs in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The evolving situation underscores the critical need for effective leadership and a commitment to ensuring safety and stability in the region
