Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that they will not accept any agreements to end the attacks in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu also claimed that Hamas rejected the proposed prisoner exchange agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that they will not accept an agreement that would completely end the attacks and occupation in the Gaza Strip; he claimed that Hamas rejected their proposed prisoner exchange agreement.

In a video message he released, Netanyahu made statements regarding the attacks they have carried out in the Gaza Strip, the ceasefire negotiations, and a possible attack on Iran.

"IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT TRUMP'S PLAN"

Reiterating that they will not accept Hamas's conditions for ending Israel's attacks and military occupation of the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu stated that otherwise, it would not be possible to implement U.S. President Donald Trump's "plan to exile Gazans."

Netanyahu emphasized that their main goal is to exile Palestinians in Gaza to other countries under the guise of "voluntary migration."

"HAMAS REJECTED OUR PRISONER EXCHANGE PROPOSAL"

Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Hamas rejected the prisoner exchange agreement they proposed this weekend, which included the release of half of the Israeli hostages and the return of the bodies of some deceased hostages.

PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE: WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE

The Israeli Prime Minister's Office reported that, contrary to Netanyahu's statements, they have not yet received an official response from Hamas.

Negotiations for a new ceasefire and mutual prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel are ongoing. However, the 21st century's humanitarian disgrace, in which Israel is being tried for genocide in Gaza by international courts, deepens every day.

MESSAGE TO IRAN

In response to public and opposition criticisms that he is "cowardly" against Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "It is amusing to listen to the criticisms of those who opposed the steps I took in the past to damage and delay Iran's nuclear program. If these steps had not been taken, Iran could have had nuclear weapons 10 years ago."

Netanyahu emphasized that they are determined to attack Iran and to "prevent this country from acquiring nuclear weapons."

Following claims from the U.S. press that "despite Israel preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, Washington has chosen the path of nuclear negotiations with Tehran," messages from the opposition in Israel have called for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Yair Lapid, the leader of the main opposition party Yesh Atid, accused Netanyahu of "cowardice" and called for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
