On November 29, Prime Minister Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will resume its war against the Hamas Movement, amid talks to further extend the current ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
In a video statement, Netanyahu said that the chief goals of the war are “eliminating” Hamas, bringing home all hostages taken in the October 7 surprise attack, and ensuring the enclave “never again returns to being a threat to Israel.”
Ahead of the expected release of a sixth group of hostages on the sixth day of the ceasefire in Gaza, Netanyahu welcomed the return of abducted Israelis, which he said last week sounded “imaginary.”
“In recent days I’ve heard a question: Will Israel return to fighting after this stage of returning our hostages is over? My response is an unequivocal yes,” the premier said. “There is no way we won’t return to fighting until the end.”
Since the temporary ceasefire in Gaza entered into effect on November 24, Hamas has released 50 Israeli hostages, 49 of whom were women and children. From its side, Israel released 150 Palestinian women and children charged with security offenses from its prisons.
In addition, 18 foreigners, 17 Thais and a Filipino, were released by Hamas as part of a separate deal that was brokered by Iran.
Despite Netanyahu’s threats, Qatar’s foreign ministry said that talks are “moving toward” an agreement with Hamas to release more Israeli hostages, including men.
“Our negotiations regarding women and children take paramount position within the discussions, but obviously we are moving toward civilian men being released,” ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari told CNN.
The spokesman also noted that negotiations are being held on the potential release of abducted Israeli soldiers and the prospect of a “longer truce” that could “lead to a ceasefire.”
Overall, Netanyahu and his government appear to be running out of options. The only way to free the hostages will be to further extend the ceasefire and release more Palestinian prisoners. The hostages will be in danger if Israel resumes its war on the Strip.
very good. now the treasonous, israel-first, aipac slaves in the u.s. government, in the u.s. military and in the u.s. intel will have their hands tied fighting for bibi and the tiny, welfare funded, banana republic of israel. putin will be able to completely overrun ukraine, dictate terms of surrender and get paid reparations on top. karma is sweet.
stop whining because you know hamas will pay dearly for their massacre of innocents. the real hostages are the gaza citizens who do not have the right to live in peace as long as iran is colonizing gaza people viz a viz hamas iranian puppet. free palestine is ya basta iran! the truth is there to see for those with open eyes to see.
here is a list of countries that have called on israel to stop its aggression and move towards a ceasefire
algeria, african union, belize, brazil, colombia, cuba, indonesia, iraq, iran, ireland, kuwait, morocco, malaysia maldives, norway, oman, pakistan, qatar, russia, syria, south africa, venezuela.
that is correct these are some of the official governments calling for this to stop. only thing you did not mention are the millions of protestors around the world in other countries such as the eu, the us, canada and the vast majority of all nations peoples, including many in israel itself, who are calling on israel to stop this genocide. netanyahu’s government is on it’s last last legs and he knows it.
true ian. all the more reason to support the bdsmovement where the people can make a difference without actually participating in war.
the mutt, degeneryahu is simply a useful idiot.
i am surprised israel is eradicating the hamas cretins cuz i am stupid
let me simplify then : bibi wanna kill all that move , flatten all that don’t. ‘murican enough ?
me like jlikius ebola and rubber duck cuz electroshock no cure my senility
it’s not actually killing many hamas, its deliberately killing babies, and they admit they want to kill women and babies. babies of palestinians are called snakes by the zionists.
pzionists are the snakes and the slime ball parasites.
we live in a world where “christians” support the antichrist state of israel.
they have accepted the mark of the beast, democracy, and the antichrist.
the whole world is deceived. the end is near.
nethanyashit looks sick and behave like he’s gonna die.
that’s the look of the average khazarian pzionist. he gets uglier and uglier day by day.
maybe he has spent too long in a bunker with stale air and forgot to wire up the appropriate lighting.
stop whining because you know hamas will pay dearly for their massacre of innocents. the real hostages are the gaza citizens who do not have the right to live in peace as long as iran is colonizing gaza people viz a viz hamas iranian puppet. free palestine is ya basta iran! the truth is there to see for those with open eyes to see.
remember, netanyahu is a man on the run avoiding prison. those are the kind of sick incentives at play. he has an incentive to prolong the war to avoid prison
the vile binny nitay aka mikhailovsky aka nut’nyahoo looks like death warmed up. not long now before the khazar chuck this demon under the bus. the world sees the vile entity in occupied palestine for what it is. the hollow co$t card will never again work now that the wanton genocide perpetrated by these thieving demons has been witnessed by all of humanity. long live palestine free of chosneite squatters.
