‘Offering a huge price for GENOCIDAL attack’ | Bibi blasts France, UK, Canada’s appeal for ceasefire

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sharply rebuked the UK, France, and Canada after their joint condemnation of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza. Accusing them of “rewarding Hamas’s genocidal attack,” Netanyahu defended Israel’s war as a fight for survival and civilization.

Gaza in Flames | IDF’s Extensive Ground Operations Leaves 100+ Dead Amid Ceasefire Talks

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gaza’s last northern hospitals—like the Indonesian facility—now shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation won’t bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.
