Peace negotiations will only be held now as Israel continues to carry Hamas with Panmer Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday during a new military attack campaign in Gaza.
“From now on, negotiations will only resume under the fight,” Netanyahu said in a simple public message.
The rebellious Israeli Prime Minister said Hamas had denounced the “Hamas propaganda” media amid accusations that he had “rejected” the involvement and return of hostages and renewed the fight for his own political survival.

“I've heard commentators report that they're in the studio, as if IDF recommendations and IDF actions stem from political considerations,” he said.
“They are not shameful. They don't have red lines. They simply reflect Hamas propaganda over and over again.”
Netanyahu proceeded to: “We extended the ceasefire for a few weeks when we didn't receive hostages. We sent a delegation to Doha. We sent a delegation to Cairo. We accepted the proposal of the American mission.
Israeli forces launched a massive bombing campaign on Tuesday, breaking a ceasefire that had been suspended since late January. The offensive mission has killed at least 404 people, according to Hamaslan's Gaza Ministry of Health.
“I want to assure you, and this is just the beginning,” Netanyahu said.

Meanwhile, Israel said it intercepted missiles from Yemen's Houthis on Tuesday evening after a US-led offensive strike with 30 Houthi targets over the weekend.
“Zionists will pay for crimes against children, women and civilians,” Houthi official Hazam El-Assad wrote to X.

In his statement, Netanyahu said Israel was “changing the face of the Middle East.”
“It's been proven over the past few months. Military pressure brings hostages — we already have many of them in our homes.”
The Prime Minister argued that Hamas was blamed on “all civilian casualties.”
“Israel is not targeting Palestinian civilians. We target Hamas terrorists, and when these terrorists use civilians as human shields, they are responsible for all unintended victims.”
“Palestinian civilians should avoid contact with Hamas terrorists, and I should call the people of Gaza and do harm, and we will move to safer areas.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli Security Agency (ISA) said in a joint statement that their airstrikes eliminated Essam al-Daris.
The IDF and ISA decided with a “high probability” that Israel would attack the strike and eliminated Hamas' Home Minister Mahmoud Marzuk Ahmed Abu Watfa. Bahajat Hassan Mohammed Abu Sultan, head of Hamas' internal security forces. Ahmed Amal Abdullah Alhata, who served as Hamas' Justice Minister.
The White House supported the Israeli move despite European leaders denounced them.
“Hamas was able to release the hostages and extend the ceasefire, but instead chose to reject and war,” National Security Council (NSC) spokesman Brian Hughes told Fox News Digital.
Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “unwavering support.” “Our alliance with the United States is stronger than ever.”

During the two-month ceasefire, 33 hostages were returned to Israel in exchange for near Palestinian prisoners.
Israel believes that around 35 people are dead, but about 59 hostages have been taken prisoner in Hamas.
