No ceasefire, fuel delivered to Gaza until hostages freed: Netanyahu
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there will be no fuel delivered to Gaza and no ceasefire with Hamas unless hostages seized by the Palestinian militants are freed.
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday there will be no fuel delivered to Gaza and no ceasefire with Hamas unless hostages seized by the Palestinian militants are freed.
In a televised statement marking the first month of Israel’s war with Hamas, Netanyahu also warned Iran-backed Hezbollah “it will be making the mistake of its life” if it opens a new front in the war from its base in Lebanon.
The Israel-Hamas war started on October 7 when fighters from the Islamist group burst out of the Gaza Strip and into southern Israel.
According to Israel, Hamas militants killed some 1,400 people — mostly civilians — and seized more than 240 hostages, in the worst attack on the nation since its founding in 1948.
In response Israel has launched a withering assault on Hamas in the Palestinian enclave it rules, home to some 2.4 million people.
The Hamas-run health ministry there says more than 10,300 people — also mostly civilians — have been killed by Israel’s offensive.
There have been increasing international calls for a ceasefire or “pause” in fighting as the conflict enters its second month.
But Netanyahu said there would be “no entry of gasoline… no ceasefire without the release of our hostages”.

Palestine was never mentioned in Biblical times
1000 BC King David conquer Israel
Romans took the land from Israel in 63 BC. Romans rename Judah (Judea) to Palestine.
Under 1948 Ottoman Empire the place was divided into Israel , West Bank and the Gaza.
Where is Palestine mentioned?
Hezbollahs and Hamas are still firing at Israel. How to stop? period.
Why UN never arrest the Hamas terrorists? Why never arrest Pudding for terrorizing Ukraine?
Did UN knows Hamas started it all? So UN knows Hamas killed children? What are you going to do it about it? So UN know Hamas captures hostages? So what are you going to do about it?
UN got teeth but cannot bite. hahahaha…
He is a criminal and should be treated as such. He thinks he doesn’t have to follow international laws and is disregarding the resolution passed by 120 countries in the UN. South American countries have already cut off diplomatic ties. When are we going to do it and expel the ambassador?
