You may have noticed there were very large protests in Israel- demanding a ceasefire??
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday pushed back against a new wave of pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza after hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested and went on strike
In his first public address since Sunday’s mass protests showed many Israelis’ furious response to the discovery of six more dead hostages, Netanyahu said he will continue to insist on a demand that has emerged as a major sticking point in talks — continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt where Israel contends Hamas smuggles weapons into Gaza. Egypt and Hamas deny it.
And he added: “No one is more committed to freeing the hostages than me. … No one will preach to me on this issue.’
There hasn’t been a single indication from Netanyahu, in my opinion, that he has any serious goal to free the hostages- Netanyahu and the allies in his government have put up every roadblock imaginable to get a ceasefire and free hostages
