Netanyahu says ‘no way’ Israel ends Gaza war until Hamas is defeated World May 13, 2025 1:28 PM EDT TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there is “no way” Israel will halt its war in Gaza, even if a deal is reached to release more hostages. Blah blah blah
At this point over 80% of the Jews who live in Israel state Hamas must be eliminated as a governing and militant entity in Gaza before there can be any permanent ceasefire. There is support for temporary ceasefires for hostage exchanges but no public support for allowing Hamas to remain in power in Gaza. Additionally nearly every single major political party in Israel agrees that the elimination of Hamas as a governing and militant entity in Gaza is a foundational point that is required before any type of permanent ceasefire can be put in place. This is not merely confined to right-wing political parties in Israel who are currently in power -- but is a point that will be carried forward by any future more moderate coalition governments. Hence this conflict will go on -- maybe with temporary ceasefires -- until Hamas is no longer the governing and militant entity in Gaza.
So now we're just listing what 80% of people believe as if that's an argument? Cool. 80% of Americans believed Saddam had WMDs. 100% of Flat Earthers believe the horizon proves their point. Consensus doesn’t magic away bad policy, or bad rhetoric. GWBot says:
