Only solution is total victory – Netanyahu

Gaza solution news

The Israeli leader has rejected a ceasefire proposal put forward by Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shot down a Hamas-proposed plan to end the conflict in Gaza, telling reporters that “there is no other solution besides absolute victory” over the Palestinian militants.

The Hamas-authored document proposes a three-stage, 135-day ceasefire during which Israeli hostages would be swapped for Palestinian prisoners, reconstruction work would begin in Gaza, and talks aimed at a permanent truce would be held while Israeli troops withdraw from the strip.

The text of the plan was leaked to Reuters on Tuesday, and rejected by Netanyahu a day later.

“Surrender to Hamas’s delusional demands, that we’ve just heard, not only would not bring about the freedom of the hostages, it would only invite an additional slaughter; it would invite disaster for Israel that no Israeli citizens want,” Netanyahu said at a press conference.

Crucially, Hamas’ proposal would leave the militant group in place as Gaza’s governing authority, while an earlier proposal put forward by Qatari and Egyptian negotiators made no mention of who would govern the enclave after the conflict.

Netanyahu insisted that “the day after” in Gaza “is the day after Hamas.” The Israeli premier said that Israel would “ensure that Gaza is demilitarized forever,” and “will act in Gaza wherever and whenever it needs to, to ensure that terror does not again raise its head.”

“We are on the way to total victory,” Netanyahu claimed, adding that “victory is achievable; it’s not a matter of years or decades, it’s a matter of months.”

Netanyahu’s insistence on “total victory” has strained relations between West Jerusalem and Washington, as has his rejection of a two-state solution to the decades-long conflict with the Palestinians.

While the US has not endorsed any particular ceasefire proposal, Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with both Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday, telling the Israeli leader that the US views “the establishment of a Palestinian state as the best way to ensure lasting peace and security” in the region, according to a State Department readout.

Israeli forces have been waging war against Hamas for more than 120 days and according to Netanyahu, have made “unprecedented” gains against the militants. However, while the prime minister claimed that Israeli forces have killed 20,000 Hamas fighters, the Gaza Health Ministry states that around two thirds of the 27,000 people killed in the enclave have been women and children. As of late last month, US intelligence officials believed that Israel had killed as few as 5,000 militants, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Israeli PM denied reports that Hamas was reestablishing itself in northern Gaza, but told reporters on Wednesday that fully eliminating the group was “a process that takes time.”

  1. “Total Victory” = Genocide…first of the Palestinians, then the rest of the world for those refusing to become the slaves of the Zionist J3w$ thru usury, exploitation, and taxation paid into J3wi$h / Zionist elements of the various governments.
    Israel will become a totally-devastated area in the Middle East, and the J3w$ will then plan to move to the Ukraine where there is water, food & resources, leaving their destructive mark on Palestine that is all but re-buildable!
    After all, J3w Zelensky stated that he was going to transform the Ukraine into “another Israel”, and his Victoria Nuland-inspired war in the eastern Donbass (for the last 10 years…), his killing of the Gentile / Goyim populations via conscriptions, and shutting down the Russian and Eastern Orthodox Churches are exactly what Lenin and his ilk did in 1917.
    He has also committed terrorism by putting American journalists on ‘death lists’ for assassination for reporting on the Zio-Ops that Ukraine has become, and this is a violation of the American reporter’s First Amendment Rights to Free Speech, despite the fact that Zelensky is actively trying to kill Americans that report on what he is doing, and the fact that the U.S. is still giving the little J3wi$h pervert billions of dollars via Biden with the kick-backs that Biden & Son are siphoning off, hiding the funds offshore!
    Me thinks that the Israelis should be gathered up and forced to live in Magadan, Kolyma and the former GULAG camps in Siberia that their J3wi$h predecessors, the Communist Bolsheviks had built at the cost of millions of Russian Orthodox Christian lives!
    The Zionist J3w$ in the Middle East are waging war and using open air prisons to oppress, randomly murder and genocide their ‘opponents’ who are not J3wi$h; and they will NOT stop with the Palestinians- they will be coming after ALLLL of us!
    Let’s see how the Israelis like living in Siberia, under the VERY close surveillance and Border Forces of the Russians who will keep them in check, insuring that they will never again engage in either direct or proxy wars ever again!
    That goes for Zelensky and his Bolshevik ilk in the Ukraine- they can live with the Israelis in the frozen hell that their predecessors created for others, and now lies abandoned…but possibly not for long!

  2. Bibi is correct in one sense. The only solution to his pending criminal prosecution and political survival is total victory. Sadly for him, it is already lost.
