Netanyahu: Hamas Rejected All Proposals, Future Talks Will Be "Under Fire"
(Ynet News) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that negotiations with Hamas will now take place under fire, following the resumption of Israeli military operations in Gaza. He said, "For weeks, we worked toward one goal - to exhaust every effort to bring our hostages home. We extended the ceasefire for weeks, sent delegations, made proposals with mediators, and accepted the U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's offer. Hamas, in contrast, rejected every proposal time and again." Netanyahu stated that he and Defense Minister Israel Katz had accepted the IDF's recommendation to resume fighting against Hamas. "Israel will now act against Hamas with increasing force....This is just the beginning. We will keep fighting until we achieve all of our war objectives. Gaza will no longer be a threat to Israel....It has been proven in the past that military pressure is a necessary condition for freeing more hostages."
