Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls from senior ministers to advance ceasefire negotiations and deliberately restricted all aid to Gaza in order to force a surrender from Hamas, internal government transcripts published by Israeli news outlet Channel 13 have revealed.

The transcripts from an Israeli war cabinet meeting on 1 March show that Netanyahu ignored repeated calls from senior defence officials to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in order to secure the release of Israeli captives, and then to renew hostilities after.

Netanyahu instead chose to unilaterally break the ceasefire in March and bar all aid to Gaza, in the hopes of forcing a surrender by Hamas.

This was despite Hamas complying with the talks, contrary to the war cabinet’s expectations.

Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians!

We will collectively punish Palestinians to put pressure on Hamas

Israel in a nutshell.

We don't need leaks to know that. Just look at the Israelis deliberately stopping aid and food trucks going into Gaza. It's not just Bibi. Most of the Israelis seem very okay with this, and some even participate into blocking food and aid. So, no surprise there.

EDIT: Oh and let's not forget the Israelis that are organizing BBQs on the side of the border. I'm sure it's all a misunderstanding.

No shit, other than the 'to cause hamas surrender' bit which is another unsurprising lie

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Seems needs to just ask the question, what does Hamas surrendering actually look like to netenyahu? How exactly does he even propose they seek surrender at the current time.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

There's still the political organization with leaders and they claim to have a few hostages that are still alive.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah like I said what does surrender actually look like?

They don't really acknowledge them as legitimate so there's that. They also fund Hamas to keep it going. They kill their leadership leading up to negotiations then violate deals and cry about "having" to break them. They're actively fighting and it occupying I think all but one of their neighbors.

The vast majority of known hostages killed lately are all due to Israel directly. They say they know the location and then end up killing everyone in and around it and go OMG they killed that hostage!

So legit, they want terrorists to surrender to save civilians they also say the same terrorists are using as human shields. Oh and I forgot literally everyone is Hamas, doctors, cops, teachers, children, babies, buildings, cars, infrastructure,.... Fuckin food....

Don't believe this BS. It was never about forcing Hamas to surrender. It is about killing as many Palestinians as possible.

just another evidence in a pile of them showing that netanyahu is a war criminal.

but he's best friends with the west, so oh well.

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It’s not even a leak if Netanyahu is tweeting in Hebrew that he’s blocking all aid from entering Gaza.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

War criminal.

No, no this has to be fake. I specifically remember this gentleman saying he wasn't starving people at all. You really think someone would just, go around telling lies like that?

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Netanyahu is a bitch ass terrorist. He will go down in history as our generation’s hitler. People who invent the Time Machine will go try to kill him before they go back to the 40’s.

Netanyahu is the shit stain of the Israelites.

It was Israel itself which put Hamas in Gaza, supporting these with weapons and money, justifying this way the war against Palestina since more than half a century. Israel has free hand to do whatever they want, while there is the support by our good US boys and the UN is a mere Fake to calm the people, making believe that with this something will be done with their small talks

2 years into the war and there's still idiots who think Israel made Hamas 💔
