Israel at war day 124
- Netanyahu rejected Hamas’s “delusional” conditions for a new hostage deal on Wednesday, arguing that only military pressure will secure the release of the Israelis being held captive in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu insisted that he had made no specific promises regarding the release of Palestinian security prisoners with blood on their hands, or any ratio for Palestinian prisoners to be freed in return for hostages in a potential deal, Israel “has not committed to anything.”
- Blinken: “Israelis were dehumanized in the most horrific way on October 7,” he says. “The hostages have been dehumanized every day since, but that cannot be a license to dehumanize others. “The overwhelming majority of people in Gaza had nothing to do with the attacks of October 7,” he maintains, adding that they are “just like our families.”
- Israel is unlikely to agree to Hamas's proposal, which includes a demand for a four-and-a-half-month ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the war, according to an NBC report citing a source at the Prime Minister’s Office.
- Another soldier dies of his wounds from 2 months ago in Gaza bringing the toll o troops in the ground offensive against Hamas to 227.
Chanan Drori, 26, from Psagot.
- Nearly one quarter of the hostages are dead NTY reports that Israeli intelligence now believes 32 of the 136 hostages still being held by Hamas are dead, majority were killed on October 7. Another 20 hostages may also be dead.
- IDF had killed or seriously injured half of the Hamas terror group’s fighters, and said the end of a nearly 4-month-old offensive in Gaza was a matter of months, not years.
- IDF reveals a major Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, previously used by senior members of the terror group and later repurposed to hold hostages.
Details on Hamas' response to the plan for the release of the abductees:
1. The bulk of Hamas' answer concerned the release of 45 hostages in return for a 45-day ceasefire.
2. Hamas demands the release of many hundreds of prisoners, including high profile prisoners " in Area A in exchange for 45 hostages.
3. In its answer, Hamas calls for the improvement of prison conditions for Palestinian terrorists in Israel.
"improvement of prison conditions for Palestinian terrorists in Israel". Hmm. Let's improve the conditions of the Palestinian criminals in prison to the level the hostages in Gaza are being kept under. Like no showers, bathroom visits every 12 hours, half a pita a day, sleep in a plastic chair or on the floor and threaten death at every turn.

"..Gaza’s latest counter-offensive brings indeed to mind the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising."
Nevermind his phrasing of the atrocities on civilians as "counter", but the sick glorification and belittling the Holocaust by such a terrible comparison is beyond justification.
