Hamas official says ‘no chance’ hostages will return to Israel after Netanyahu rejects deal | Israel-Gaza war |

They watch the pro-Hamas demonstrators in our streets and know Israel has no chance. Can we assume this is the purpose behind the street riots? Do the students and activists not care what was done to the innocent Israelis on Oct 6? TD

Netanyahu had earlier dismissed the militant group’s conditions to end the war, which he said included leaving Hamas in power and Israel’s complete withdrawal from the territory.

. . ."Netanyahu has repeatedly pledged to pursue the offensive in Gaza until “total victory”, but commentators in Israel have questioned the conduct of the war, arguing that the offensive’s goals are unrealistic, accusing the Israeli prime minister of indecision.

"In his statement on Sunday, Netanyahu also repeated his strong line on the issue of Palestinian statehood. “I will not compromise on full Israeli security control of all territory west of the Jordan River,” he said.

"On Saturday, Netanyahu rejected Joe Biden’s call for a Palestinian state after the war. His office said that in talks on Friday with the US president, Netanyahu “reiterated his policy that after Hamas is destroyed Israel must retain security control over Gaza to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel, a requirement that contradicts the demand for Palestinian sovereignty”.

"On Sunday, Gaza’s health ministry announced that Israel’s war against Hamas had killed 25,000 Palestinians, with UN chief António Guterres describing the scale of civilian killings as “heartbreaking and utterly unacceptable”.

"Most of the casualties were women and children, the ministry said, and thousands more bodies were likely to remain uncounted under rubble across Gaza." . . .

Israel Gaza: Hamas raped and mutilated women on 7 October, BBC hears  . . ."Police have privately shown journalists a single horrific testimony that they filmed of a woman who was at the Nova festival site during the attack.

"My people!"
"She describes seeing Hamas fighters gang rape a woman and mutilate her, before the last of her attackers shot her in the head as he continued to rape her.

"In the video, the woman known as Witness S mimes the attackers picking up and passing the victim from one to another.

" 'She was alive," the witness says. "She was bleeding from her back."

"She goes on to detail how the men cut off parts of the victim's body during the assault.

" 'They sliced her breast and threw it on the street," she says. "They were playing with it." . . .

"The victim was passed to another man in uniform, she continues.

"He penetrated her, and shot her in the head before he finished. He didn't even pick up

 his pants; he shoots and ejaculates."

"One man we spoke to from the festival site said he heard the "noises and screams of people being murdered, raped, decapitated' "...
