Israeli PM criticises leaders after their call for halt to Gaza offensive and restrictions on humanitarian aid

Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney of “emboldening Hamas”, after they called for a halt to Israel’s military offensive and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Earlier this week, the leaders of the UK, France and Canada condemned the Israeli government’s “egregious” actions in Gaza, warning that the UK and allies would take “concrete actions” unless Netanyahu changed course.

In a post on X on Thursday evening, the Israeli prime minister said Hamas wanted to “destroy the Jewish state” and “annihilate the Jewish people”.

    Honestly I haven’t even heard of any attack or repercussions against Israel since the Oct 7 attack. Does Hamas even exist anymore?

      They do, and they’re still war criminal pieces of shit (just like their bud Netanyahou, who helped them many times) who are hated and protested against by many in Gaza. They’re just not getting eliminated at all because the IDF needs an excuse to bomb gaza again.

      Hamas still exists. They constantly injure or kill IDF soldiers that move too close to the rubble in Gaza. In particular they keep existing i places that Israel claims to have under control and where they claimto have “eliminated” Hamas.

      This shows a few things:

      1. Israel is only good at mass murdering Civillians with indirect fire. When it comes to fight people on the ground, they are lackluster.
      2. The proclaimed goals of freeing the hostages and eliminating Hamas cannot be achieved by the incompetent Israeli military.
      3. Israel is lying about its military goals. It is clear that their goals are the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Something for which you dont need a military, just goons with guns.
