Israel on Tuesday withdrew its key negotiators from hostage negotiations in Doha, Qatar, after Hamas toughened its demands in response to a UN Security Council resolution calling for an unconditional ceasefire.
As Breitbart News reported, after the US abstained and granted, Hamas further pursued its demand for a ceasefire before releasing the hostages. United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728 Passed with support from both Russia and China.
The resolution called for the release of the remaining Israeli hostages, but did not make freedom of the hostages a condition of a cease-fire, as in an earlier resolution introduced last week by the United States and vetoed by Russia and China. There wasn’t.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a White House-requested meeting with advisers to discuss Israel’s impending attack on Hamas in Rafah, its last stronghold opposed by President Joe Biden.
The White House said it was “perplexed” and claimed Netanyahu had overreacted, but Hamas praised the UN Security Council vote and stuck to its original demand for a ceasefire before releasing the hostages. Then he announced.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office issued the following statement (translated from Hebrew):
Hamas’s stance clearly shows its complete indifference to the negotiated agreement and is a testament to the damage that the UN Security Council resolution has caused.
Hamas once again rejected the US compromise and reiterated its extreme demands. An immediate halt to the war, a complete withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces from the Gaza Strip, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and leaving his regime in place so that the Gaza Strip can repeat itself over and over again. . The October 7 massacre was carried out as promised.
While Hamas celebrated the Security Council resolution, it rejected all US compromise proposals.
Israel will not respond to Hamas’s delusional demands. Israel will pursue and achieve its legitimate war goals of destroying Hamas’ military and government capabilities, freeing all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza poses no threat to the Israeli people in the future.
