The USA continues to rely on a negotiated solution to the Israel-Hamas war | DW News #israel #hamas #ceasefireterms Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hit out at Hamas' demands for a possible new hostage deal. The conditions set by the Islamist organization would lead to another massacre like the one on 7 October, Netanyahu said on Wednesday evening in Jerusalem after a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. According to Netanyahu, giving in to Hamas' demands would be a disaster. It is necessary to continue the military pressure on Hamas to free the hostages. There is no alternative to its military collapse. The Gaza war showed Israel that it could be won in a few months, the prime minister was convinced.
