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 surrender and 90% of the inhabitants of Gaza starves to death? WIN! Now you can “mop up” the remains and occupy the region with near to none opposition.
Hamas does surrender? WIN! You can claim a historic victory, jail every Hamas member that come forth and occupy the region with near to none opposition.
On a psychopathic level devoid of any ethics it is genious…
It’s not genius at all, at least not on the basis of “winning”. There is no “winning” this conflict without a political solution, and there is no political solution without full rights for Palestinians.
Netanyahu is judging that the world will let him get away with genocide as long as he does it slowly. If he actually genocides Palestine, he won’t have a problem any more.
Well… there is a winning situation for Israel (and i assume they are moving in this direction): No Palestinians, no further problems.
Of course it is, Benjamin Netanyahu is a damn war criminal. Gaza is becoming one big Nazi death camp.
W A R - C R I M E S
It pisses me off, it’s what all Israel’s supporters say.
“Oh it wouldn’t be necessary if Hamas didn’t make them do it.”
It sickens me that they believe any group of people to be such non-persons that it’s justified to treat them this way… These are human beings and what’s happening to them is not cosmic accident or common misfortune. They’re being tormented to death, by people who revel in causing pain.
Again, Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac that should be tried in Neurenberg and sentenced to death there just to make the fucking point.
and those who Didn’t do anything knowing that are also guilty,
That’s not how anything works, you can the jail the vast majority of the world with that attitude. It’s not that simple
I think you mean The Hague, that is where the ICC court is.
I know, but I do mean Neurenberg because of its historical significance in this case
We tried the Serbian genocidal war criminals there. It is more significant these days.
I know, I know, and I’m all for the IOC, but this is a Jewish person committing genocide. I think it would be fitting to have that particular trial in Neurenberg, just to drive the point home.
That’s fair.
Remember everybody, jizzrael started the ethnic cleansing in the forties with the nakba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba
So many times I’ve seen Zionists argue against this. Wonder how they’re gonna try to salvage it now?
He needs to be hung for crimes against humanity.
Netanyahu and a disturbing amount of others see all Palestinians as Hamas. They aren’t starving civilians to death to pressure Hamas. They’re genociding all Palestinians on purpose because they don’t see them as human beings. It’s unspeakably horrible, and it’s being silenced.
The mainstream is hoping that when all Palestinians are dead or displaced they won’t have a voice to object.
There were a few Palestinians protesting against Hamas a few months ago but Hamas killed them. That said, Hamas does have broad support in Gaza.
You’re cool with the IDF murdering and raping women and children, and starving the population to death? Your excuse for this is “Hamas.”
You’re a fucking joke and you shouldn’t talk about this topic until you learn more about it or become more intelligent.
Actually, I do not support murder or rape. Israel does have a right to retaliate against Hamas, assuring their complete surrender or annihilation, but they also have a duty to civilians that do not cooperate with Hamas. My speaking out against Hamas should not be understood to mean I support all actions of Israel.
If it’s Hamas or the people actively murdering their children and starving them, then it’s not much of a choice.
I’m friends with American Palestinians and American Jews and I’ll say that the support of each side for their government is irrationally strong. Hamas is legitimately popular on its own. And very few say Hamas should turn in their weapons and release the hostages and surrender even though that would end the war overnight. In this regard, I feel they are similar to Russians & Putin. It just isn’t rational. Hamas is causing harm to Palestinians.
My solution isn’t liked by either side. I say bring back the Ottoman Empire so both can be ruled by someone else. Neither can be trusted to respect the lives of the other without an even bigger entity above them both.
How often do you mimic the face of a wolf with your hands?
I’m not aware of ever having done that. Why?
There’s an extremist Turkish-Nationalist group, which would probably be very happy about your argument. They do that sign as an identifyer.
I’ll be honest, as a traditional Catholic, I’d be fine with Crusaders getting the job done, but I am willing to defer to the Ottomans. Either way, the children running Hamas & Israel need to be put in their place.
Found the genocide supporting zionazi
I support the disarming and surrender of Hamas very specifically because it is for the good of Palestinian people. This is the surest way to stop the genocide. One Hamas is eliminated, everyone should recognize Gaza as an independent nation. They should be made to have a pacifist constitution and no offensive military capacity as a requirement for recognition.
Lots of news from the ‘no shit’ category lately
