Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls from senior ministers to advance ceasefire negotiations and deliberately restricted all aid to Gaza in order to force a surrender from Hamas, internal government transcripts published by Israeli news outlet Channel 13 have revealed.

The transcripts from an Israeli war cabinet meeting on 1 March show that Netanyahu ignored repeated calls from senior defence officials to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in order to secure the release of Israeli captives, and then to renew hostilities after.

Netanyahu instead chose to unilaterally break the ceasefire in March and bar all aid to Gaza, in the hopes of forcing a surrender by Hamas.

This was despite Hamas complying with the talks, contrary to the war cabinet’s expectations.

Seems needs to just ask the question, what does Hamas surrendering actually look like to netenyahu? How exactly does he even propose they seek surrender at the current time.

There's still the political organization with leaders and they claim to have a few hostages that are still alive.

Yeah like I said what does surrender actually look like?

They don't really acknowledge them as legitimate so there's that. They also fund Hamas to keep it going. They kill their leadership leading up to negotiations then violate deals and cry about "having" to break them. They're actively fighting and it occupying I think all but one of their neighbors.

The vast majority of known hostages killed lately are all due to Israel directly. They say they know the location and then end up killing everyone in and around it and go OMG they killed that hostage!

So legit, they want terrorists to surrender to save civilians they also say the same terrorists are using as human shields. Oh and I forgot literally everyone is Hamas, doctors, cops, teachers, children, babies, buildings, cars, infrastructure,.... Fuckin food....
