Blinken is useless, time for sanctions
Netanyahu says Hamas’ demands on hostage and ceasefire deal are ‘delusional’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed Hamas’ proposals for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, calling them “delusional” in a setback to diplomatic efforts to pause the war.
Netanyahu said during a Wednesday briefing: “We haven’t committed to anything. We haven’t committed to any of the delusional demands of Hamas, the numbers of terrorists with blood on their hands [to release].” “There is not a commitment – there has to be a negotiation, it’s a process, and at the moment, from what I see from Hamas, it’s not happening,” Netanyahu added.
Netanyahu says Hamas in its entirety must be destroyed for Israel to be safe
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Hamas must be destroyed for Israel to be safe. “Continuing pressure, military pressure is a necessary condition. Surrendering to Hamas’ delusional demands will only ask for another disaster for the state of Israel, another massacre,” Netanyahu told Israeli media Wednesday.
Netanyahu said he told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday that it is only after Israel “destroys” Hamas that Gaza will be safe.
“Not part of Hamas, not half of Hamas, the entire [of] Hamas,” Netanyahu said.
“History has proven that only one force can achieve this. Israel, the Israel Defence Forces and our security forces,” he said.
“Israel will be acting in Gaza whenever necessary in order for the terror not to come back.”
Netanyahu says Israel's aim is "complete victory," which will take months
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel's aim is "complete victory" and the country will "not do less than that."
"I told (US Secretary of State) Antony Blinken we are nearly there with complete victory," Netanyahu told journalists in a news conference in Jerusalem. "We are on the way to complete victory. The victory is achievable; it's not a matter of years or decades, it's a matter of months."
Netanyahu is doubling down, delusional genocidal maniac indeed.
Calls for a ceasefire are now also coming from within Israel
Several Israel-based civil society groups and human rights organizations call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza
A statement published jointly by 17 Israeli based groups, including B’Tselem, Combatants for Peace, and Breaking the Silence, calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
"We, the undersigned Israel-based civil society and human rights organizations, call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and demand the immediate release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip. An immediate ceasefire will prevent further loss of civilian lives and facilitate access to vital aid for Gaza to address the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe there," the statement said.
The organizations said that 120 days of war have caused "unfathomable death and destruction," decimated health care systems, created a lack of food supply and clean drinking water and displaced civilians in Gaza. It called on the involved parties to "reach an immediate ceasefire." Further, it asked Israel to allow unfettered entry and delivery of humanitarian aid and goods in Gaza, and for Hamas to release all hostages held in the enclave. "These steps are vital for ensuring human rights and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike," it concluded.
