You got that right LOL! Netanyahu: Israel pursuing Hamas destruction, hostage release Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is "working in countless ways" to bring back hostages held by Hamas in Gaza while also prioritizing the destruction of the Palestinian militant group. "This is not something that I am adding now. This is not something that I am adding because I am under pressure within the coalition. It is something we agreed on unanimously in the war cabinet," Netanyahu said in a video statement. The Israeli prime minister has come under pressure recently after US President Joe Biden presented a three-phase cease-fire plan. Opposition leader Yair Lapid has called on Netanyahu to accept the deal. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right coalition partner, said Netanyahu had invited him to read the proposal, but the prime minister's office failed to provide him with the document. He stressed that any plan must entail destroying Hamas. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-views-bidens-plan-as-incomplete/live-69250793

DUH! Israel says Biden's outline for truce plan is incomplete A spokesperson for the Israeli government said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the cease-fire proposal presented by US President Joe Biden is "partial." "The outline that President Biden presented is partial," government spokesman David Mencer quoted Netanyahu as saying. "The war will be stopped for the purpose of returning the hostages," he added, noting that this will be followed by discussions on how to achieve the war's stated goal of eliminating Hamas. "The claims that we have agreed to a cease-fire without our conditions being met are incorrect," Netanyahu was quoted as saying in a separate statement issued by his office. The remarks came amid apparent friction with Netanyahu's coalition partner Ben Gvir, who, according to Israeli media, accused the prime minister of "whitewashing" the cease-fire plan. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-netanyahu-views-bidens-plan-as-incomplete/live-69250793

OH OH Bibi in trouble Netanyahu may be forced to choose between his government’s survival and a ceasefire deal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may soon be forced to choose: Agree to a ceasefire deal with Hamas or keep his government in power. But as he confronts that choice, Netanyahu is also looking for a way to avoid it altogether. For months, Netanyahu has gingerly balanced these competing imperatives by refusing to even contemplate a permanent ceasefire as he blamed Hamas’s “delusional demands” for the collapse of previous rounds of negotiations. But after US President Joe Biden publicly outlined Israel’s latest ceasefire proposal on Friday – one that could lead to a permanent truce and which Hamas may be prepared to accept – Netanyahu is now out of time. “I think that Bibi is cornered now,” said Aviv Bushinsky, a former adviser to Netanyahu, using the prime minister’s nickname. Biden is “forcing Bibi to take off his mask and say: ‘OK, now is the money time. Are you in favor of a deal?’,” he said.
