Israel killed the three sons and grandchildren of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh while they were visiting family on the first day of Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday inside a Gaza City refugee camp at “the climax” of ceasefire negotiations, the leader said, according to Reuters.
“Our demands are clear and specific and we will not make concessions on them. The enemy will be delusional if it thinks that targeting my sons, at the climax of the negotiations and before the movement sends its response, will push Hamas to change its position,” the 61-year-old said.
He continued, "The blood of my sons is not dearer than the blood of our people."
Israel killed his three sons and three grandchildren.
The Times of Israel said there was no immediate comment from the IDF on the strike, but cited a defense official who told Walla news: “Haniyeh’s three sons were operatives in Hamas’s military wing and we are determined to eliminate all Hamas operatives.”
There are questions about how many Israeli hostages remain in Hamas captivity. The Hill, citing a source, reported that Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary ceasefire deal.
The report noted that Israel claims more than 240 people were abducted by Hamas on 7 October and 133 hostages should be alive.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has long said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist government are not interested in saving hostages. The key goal is the expel or kill Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.
If anyone thought they could trust Israel to bargain in good faith, this atrocity proves they are dead wrong! For as long as the Zionists "blood and soil" fascists are in charge the only thing the Israeli government will respond to is forceful pressure exerted by the US government. And that isn't forthcoming. Biden needs to "stay the course" or lose th reelection in November. But Biden has little chance of being reelected if the Democratic Party remains divided over the issue of Binden's aiding and abetting genocide! Independent candidate RFK is expected to pull approximately 17 million votes from genocide Joe. Trump is also an ardent supporter of Netanyahu, even in the face of Israel committing genocide. That means that all three candidates will have to discount tens of millions of voters who will not vote for any candidate supporting Israel and genocide. I am one of those and while I can't speak for everybody, I believe that anyone running for federal or state office who still supports Israel today, made a bad deal with the Devil. For any candidate clinging to Israel for the sake of money or votes, should not to be trusted. The wars in Gaza and Ukraine would have been brought to a close had a real Democrat like JFK been President instead of genocide Joe.
