BREAKING: Israeli PM Netanyahu:
We are willing to discuss the final phase. Hamas will lay down its arms, its leaders will be allowed to leave Gaza, we will ensure Israeli security control over the Strip, and the Trump immigration plan will be implemented. That’s the plan. We’re not hiding it.
Israeli PM Netanyahu at the start of the cabinet meeting:
“The combination of military and diplomatic pressure is the only thing that has brought back the hostages—not the claims and empty slogans I hear in the studios from so-called experts.”
“This morning I want to speak about the three H’s: first Hamas, then Hezbollah, and then the Houthis.”
On Hamas in Gaza:
“Military pressure works. It works because it simultaneously crushes Hamas’s military and governing capabilities and creates the conditions for the release of our hostages. That’s exactly what we’re doing.”
“Last night, the cabinet convened and decided to increase pressure—already intense—to further crush Hamas and maximize conditions for the release of our hostages.”
“I want to address three false claims constantly directed at us in one ongoing lie:”
1. “That we’re not negotiating.”
“Not true. We are negotiating—under fire—which is what makes it effective. We’re beginning to see cracks.”
2. “That we’re unwilling to discuss the final phase.”
“Also false. We are willing. Hamas will lay down its arms, its leaders will be allowed to leave Gaza, we will ensure Israeli security control over the Strip, and the Trump immigration plan will be implemented. That’s the plan. We’re not hiding it and are ready to discuss it anytime.”
3. “That we don’t care about the hostages.”
“Not true—for the ministers here, who meet frequently with hostage families, and not for my wife and me. Just this past week, we met and spoke deeply with four families. Their pain is immense. The claim that we don’t care echoes Hamas propaganda, intended to divide us and distort reality.”
“We are committed to bringing the hostages home and are actively working toward it. So far, only military and diplomatic pressure has succeeded—not the empty slogans from self-proclaimed experts.”
On Hezbollah:
“In Lebanon, enforcement is firm and uncompromising. That’s the directive from me, the defense minister, and the cabinet—and the IDF is carrying it out effectively. We allow no ‘drips,’ no concessions, and no leniency.”
“The State of Lebanon is responsible for what comes from its territory and must ensure no attacks are launched against Israel. We respect Lebanon and its army—so we demand from them what you expect from someone you respect.”
On the Houthis:
“I greatly appreciate the actions of the United States, our ally. They are dealing with the Houthis with great force. Of course, we are also acting to defend ourselves, as seen recently. But the fact that the U.S. is now striking hard is a major shift.”
“We always value our alliances. We have a partnership with the world’s greatest power, which stands behind us strongly—here and in other arenas—unconditionally, with the full appreciation of Israel’s citizens and government.”
