Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood firm in the face of Hamas’s delusional demands, making it clear that there will be no ceasefire deal until the terrorist group comes back down to reality. In a recent appearance on CBS News’s Face the Nation, Netanyahu emphasized the importance of liberating the remaining hostages held by Hamas, but made it clear that Israel’s goal of total victory will not be compromised in any deal-making process.

Netanyahu expressed his appreciation for the collaborative efforts of Israel and the United States in bringing back half of the hostages, but stressed that Hamas’s unrealistic demands are obstructing the progress towards a ceasefire. He firmly stated that if Hamas continues on its current path, there will be no room for negotiation, and Israel will continue to pursue total victory over the terrorist organization.

The prime minister also addressed the ceasefire proposal offered by American, Egyptian, and Qatari officials in Paris, which aimed to secure the release of 40 hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Netanyahu reiterated that any deal made with Hamas would only serve as a temporary delay in achieving total victory over the terrorist group. He made it clear that Israel is prepared to take action, with or without a ceasefire deal, to ensure the safety and security of its citizens.

Netanyahu’s unwavering stance on the issue reinforces the conservative viewpoint that peace can only be achieved through strength and resolve. The prime minister’s refusal to compromise on Israel’s goal of total victory over Hamas demonstrates strong leadership and a commitment to the safety and security of the nation. As tensions persist in the region, it is evident that Netanyahu remains steadfast in his dedication to protecting Israel and its citizens from the threats posed by terrorist organizations like Hamas.
