Netanyahu refuses to be bullied into Gaza ceasefire deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rejecting the Biden regime’s calls for a ceasefire in Gaza after the Hamas terror organization murdered six hostages over the weekend.

The shocking murder of the hostages, including 23-year-old American Hersh Goldberg-Polin whose parents spoke at the DNC, has led to renewed pressure on the Israeli leader with President Joe Biden seeming to blame Netanyahu for their deaths for not bowing to demands to bring the war to a close before Hamas has been wiped out.

After returning to Washington, D.C. from another extended beach vacation, the octogenarian Democrat was asked by reporters if Netanyahu was doing enough to free the hostages and he responded with a resounding “No!” in his latest criticism of his Jewish counterpart.

“It is long past time for a ceasefire and hostage deal. We need to bring the hostages home and end the suffering in Gaza,” Vice President and Democrat nominee Kamala Harris wrote on X, upping the pressure on Netanyahu.

The Israeli leader remained defiant in the face of bullying from the White House, which is desperate to engineer a ceasefire that Biden and Harris can take credit for before the election and get Michigan Muslims back onboard the Democrat train.

At his first press conference since the hostages were murdered, Netanyahu said that “no one is more committed to freeing the hostages than me,” but “no one will preach to me.”

“I want to ask you something. What has changed in the last five days? What has changed? One thing: these murderers executed six of our hostages. They shot them in the back of the head. That’s what changed,” he angrily stated.

“And now after this, we’re asked to show seriousness? We’re asked to make concessions? What message does this send Hamas? It says, kill more hostages,” Netanyahu continued. “Murder more hostages and you will get more concessions. The pressure internationally must be directed at these killers! At Hamas. Not at Israel. We say ‘yes’. They say ‘no’ all the time but they also murdered these people, and we now we need maximum pressure on Hamas.”

“I don’t believe that either President Biden or anyone serious about achieving peace and achieving the release would seriously ask Israel, Israel to make these concessions. We’ve already made them. Hamas has to make the concessions, he added.

As if to prove his point that the cold-blooded barbarians of Hamas can’t be negotiated with, the terrorists recorded videos of the hostages for propaganda purposes before they executed them.

“I told the families, and I repeat and say this evening: I am asking for your forgiveness that we didn’t manage to bring them back alive. We were very close, but we couldn’t make it,” Netanyahu said on Monday, according to CNN.

“We’re going to exact a heavy price from Hamas; I’m not going to tell you what the price is going to be and what we’re going to do; there’s going to be an element of surprise here,” he vowed.
