Israel has rebuffed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s call for a “humanitarian pause” in Gaza.
Mr Blinken said he had discussed the idea with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials during their talks in Tel Aviv.
But in a TV statement minutes later, Mr Netanyahu said Israel rejected “a temporary ceasefire that does not include the release of our hostages”.
He said that Israel was “continuing with all our force” against Hamas.

All hamas has to do is release 200 hostages. Seems very simple to do.
All israel has to do is stop bombing civillians. Seems very simple to do.
Doesn’t get their people back. Doesn’t stop hamas from attacking them.
So what does Israel stopping the bombing actually achieve? More years of terror inflicted upon the people of Israel from hamas?
You realise that once this is over Hamas would have a really easy time finding new recruits. You don’t really expect all those people pushed to the brink won’t radicalize, do you?
And then what? Do you seriously think that leveling everything around including civilian infrastructure and in the process killing and injuring tens of thousands is the solution?

Oh so your solution is to kill 2.4M people in the course, how noble of you. I hope your parents are really proud of how good a job they did as parents.
There it is. Genocide advocation.
Less years of terror inflicted upon the people of Gaza from Israel.
IMO Israel should also stop targeting journalists
Until hamas attacks Israel again and then Israel attacks again.
If hamas didn’t invade and attack innocent people at the start of October then Israel wouldn’t be bombing them right now.
