'This is a time for war’: Israel will not agree to ceasefire with Hamas, says Netanyahu

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said 'just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbour or after the terrorist attack of 911, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas'.

He said a ceasefire would mean 'surrendering to terrorism' and continued: 'The Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war'.

What did you expect from a war criminal?

This guy will do anything to hold onto power, it doesn’t matter how many die to make that happen. And I don’t just mean Palestinians. He knows that if there is a ceasefire people will start to ask the hard questions like, for example, how this happened on his watch .

If my next-door neighbour repressed and oppressed me for 75 years, just because they could (ie. massive military support from elsewhere), then do you think that at some point I wouldn’t punch back? Last time I checked, in a boxing match, _both_ fighters are allowed to throw punches. That doesn’t mean that what Hamas did was justified, but it was hardly unpredictable. Netanyahu appears blissfully oblivious to this fact.

[Timothyrpiano]

I understand why you want to take down Hamas, but you need to be cautious of the innocent civilians that’s being affected by this

[thl]

Netanyahu needs war to distract from his huge failings on domestic issues and the massive military failure in October 7th. In reality, most people on both sides would agree to some kind of negotiation to free the hostages, and discuss the future of a Palestinian state without Hamas and other terrorist groups.

I'm curious. Why isn't anyone asking Hamas to ceasefire? Hamas started this war and continues to fire missiles into Israel, + refuses to release hostages from 32 or 33 countries including USA & Israel.

[ebejale]

Does he realize that this style of speech doesn't make Israel or the world any safer? Pouring fuel to put off fire is a strategy that has stifled the growth of this world for millennials.

[fredrickchesetto]

Cease fire is like sparing deadly snakes which will bite again in future. Hamas should never have attacked Israel in the first place.

WHY ARE’NT YOU REPORTING ON NETANYAHU’S BIBLICAL REFERENCE TO

[FanFarza]

"Bombing of Pearl Harbor"
Where was your country at that time netan? 🗿

[Tonishog]

I don’t know why he keeps using the US as an example as if that’s some justification? The US are by no means a role model to look at when it comes to foreign policy an and wars😭

[Stupiditas-stupido]

Israel actually feels boring fighting with hamas alone so they decide to attack Lebanon, Syria and Egypt so that they can enter the war as well

[bzdmprb]

No disrespect...one life taken is one too many but over 32, 000 Palestinians killed is not a war sir compared to 1200. Make it make sense. How many hamas have you killed

[tiggyshu]

He's even wearing a black shirt. Very apt!

[collectivestatetv]

He needs to talk big like that without the help of the US and our tax dollars and resources. They want war handle theirs on their own then talk crazy like a war criminal

[ytrrs]

0:38 - "This is the time for war" - Netanyahu says it's time for war. And India abstained in the U.N.G.A vote implicitly supporting Israel. About a year ago the Indian PM said on Russia's invasion on Ukraine, "This is not an era of war" and India abstained in voting against Russia. Which one is it, Modi? It's time or it's not time? India appears to be indecisive and nods for both! 🤣

[papercutpostman]

Then fight the war on your own. Stop relying on US aid. You wanna fight? Do it alone...
