"According to the proposal, Israel will continue to insist that these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put into practice," said Netanyahu's office, cited by the French agency AFP.
The statement was released one day after US President Joe Biden presented an Israeli roadmap for a ceasefire, almost eight months after the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement.
On a military level, Israel's objectives are the complete elimination of "Hamas' military and government capabilities" in the Palestinian enclave.
"The idea that Israel will accept a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are met is doomed to failure," Netanyahu's office said.
Biden announced a three-phase Israeli truce proposal, in which Israeli hostages would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners, while troops would be gradually withdrawn from the enclave and a reconstruction plan would be put in place.
Netanyahu's government confirmed that it authorized negotiators to present a truce project to Hamas to release the hostages, but made it clear that the war will not end until Israel achieves its military objectives.
Hamas said it viewed the truce proposal positively in terms of a "definitive ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the reconstruction of Gaza and the exchange of prisoners", according to the Spanish agency EFE.
The Palestinian extremist group assured that it is willing to constructively negotiate any plan that includes these points.
Hamas has insisted for days that it is willing to reach an agreement to release hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, as long as Israel ends the war in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict was triggered by an unprecedented attack by Hamas on Israeli soil, on October 7, 2023, which caused around 1,200 deaths and two hundred hostages, according to Israel.
The Israeli offensive that followed in the Gaza Strip caused more than 36,300 deaths, according to health authorities from the Hamas government, which has controlled the Palestinian enclave since 2007.
