Israel will not let anything to stand in the way of its war objectives. The Prime Minister has repeatedly pointed out that the main intention is to destruct Hamas' combat capabilities, deprive him of control over the Gaza Strip and release the kidnapped people. Now the politician warns that negotiations on a further truce will be carried out only under fire.
Netanjahu stressed that the military resumed the attacks as Hamas repeatedly rejected the proposal to extend the truce in exchange for the release of more hostages. He besides pointed out that the country would be fighting more and more terrorists.
Hundreds of victims and wounded
The Prime Minister published on social media a recording in English, in which he explained that Israel allegedly did not direct its attacks against Palestinian civilians. The work for the victims in this group lies with Hamas, who occupies civilian territory and treats civilians as surviving shields.
Netanyahu's statements came after Israel's deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip, which ended the truce with Hamas on January 19. According to data from the Ministry of wellness of Gaza, at least 404 Palestinians, including many children, were killed as a consequence of raids and over 560 people were injured.

Throwing blame
Talks about the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which was to include the release of nearly 60 remaining Hamas prisoners and the establishment of a permanent truce, were stuck in a deadlock due to Israel's demands that the first phase be extended until mid-April. Last week Israel rejected Hamas' proposal, which afraid the release of the U.S. citizen and Israel and the release of the bodies of 4 dead prisoners in exchange for the initiation of the second phase of talks and the termination of the blockade that Israel imposed at the beginning of the month.
Prior to Israel's attack, United States President's envoy, Steve Witkoff, put force on him to adopt a plan to prolong the ceasefire after the end of Ramadan and Passover. According to this proposal, Hamas would free more surviving prisoners in exchange for prisoners, while both sides would work on a permanent truce.
In his speech on Tuesday, Netanjahu blamed Hamas solely for his deficiency of advancement in the talks.
While Israel accepted the offer of president Trump's peculiar envoy, Steve Witkoff, Hamas powerfully declined – Netanjahu said. – That's why yesterday I ordered a resumption of military action against Hamas..
