“I hear the commentators in the studios reporting as if the recommendation and IDF actions of the IDF come from political considerations,” he said.
“They have no shame. They have no red lines. They just echo Hamas propaganda time and time again.”
Netanyahu continued: “We have expanded it -the fire for weeks when we did not receive hostages. We sent delegations to Doha. We sent delegations to Cairo. We made proposals with the mediators. We have accepted the proposal of the American envoy, (Steve) Witkoff.
The army of Israel launched a large-scale bombing on Tuesday and broke a ceasefire that was in force since the end of January. The attacking mission killed at least 404 people, according to the Hamas-Runned Gaza Health Ministry, that it would make one of the deadliest days of the war since 7 October 2023, if true.

Netanyahu said in his explanation that Israel “changed the face of the middle -east.”
“It has been proven in recent months – military pressure brings the hostages – we already have a lot at home.”
The prime minister claimed that Hamas was the fault of ‘every civil victim’.
“Israel is not focusing on Palestinian citizens. We focus on Hamas terrorists. And when these terrorists embrace themselves in civilian areas, when they use citizens as human shields, they are the ones responsible for all unintended victims.”
“Palestinian citizens must avoid any contact with Hamas terrorists, and I call on the people of Gaza, get out of the way. Go to safer areas. Because every civil victim is a tragedy and every civil victim is to blame for Hamas.”
The Israeli Defense Groups (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (Isa) said in a joint explanation that their air strikes had eliminated Essam al-Da’alis, “the largest figure of authority in the Gaza Strip.”
The IDF and Isa also determined with “great probability” that Israeli strikes mahmoud Marzouk Ahmed Abu-Watfa, the Minister of Internal Affairs, are in charge of the internal security forces of Hamas, eliminated; Bahajat Hassan Mohammed Abu-Sultan, who served as the head of the internal security forces of Hamas; and Ahmed Amar Abdullah Alhata, who served as Hamas’ Justice Minister.
The White House supported Israel’s movements to renew the bombing campaign, even when European leaders convicted them.
“Hamas could have released hostages to expand it -the fires, but instead opted for refusal and war,” spokesperson for the National Security Council (NSC) Brian Hughest told Fox News Digital.
Netanyahu thanked Trump for his ‘relentless support’. “Our alliance with the United States has never been stronger.”
