Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected conditions presented by Hamas to end the war and release hostages that would include Israel’s complete withdrawal and leaving Hamas in power in Gaza.

As Israeli planes resumed bombing Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters the Israeli leader’s refusal to end the military offensive in Gaza “means there is no chance for the return of the (Israeli) captives.”

“In exchange for the release of our hostages, Hamas demands the end of the war, the withdrawal of our forces from Gaza, the release of all the murderers and rapists,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “And leaving Hamas intact.”

      Palestine (and neighboring countries) hates Israel because they have been committing atrocities ever since the 1940’s

      Israel hates Palestine because it’s Palestine

          Israel was literally formed by terrorists. Their entire premise is evicting Palestinians from their homes to make room for foreign settlers. Those terrorists groups committed many terrorist attacks against the Palestinians and the British, before declaring a new state they now had to “defend” into Palestine.
