BREAKING:
⚡ 🇮🇱 Netanyahu rejected all offers for a ceasefire and a Palestinian state
"We continue the war on all fronts and in all sectors. We do not give immunity to any terrorist - not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Syria, and not anywhere.
Whoever tries to harm us - we harm him.
Regarding our abductees, we have so far returned 110 of the abductees home, and we are committed to returning them all. This is one of the objectives of the war, and military pressure is a necessary condition for its completion.
I work on this around the clock. But to be clear, I reject outright the terms of surrender of the monsters of Hamas.
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 of the Nuh'ba and leaving Hamas intact.
If we agree to this - our warriors fell in vain. If we agree to this - we will not be able to guarantee the security of our citizens. We will not be able to return the evacuees safely to their homes, and next October 7th will only be a matter of time. I am not ready to put up with such a fatal injury to Israel's security, so we will not agree to it.
The conditions set by Hamas sharpen a simple truth - there is no substitute for victory. Only a complete victory will ensure the elimination of Hamas and the return of all our abductees.
I said these things to President Biden in our conversation over the weekend. I greatly appreciate the US's support for Israel, and I have also expressed this to the President. However, I firmly stand by our vital interests.
I emphasized to President Biden our determination to complete all the war objectives, and to ensure that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.
That's why I insist that after we achieve complete victory, after we eliminate Hamas - there will be no entity in Gaza that finances terrorism, educates terrorism or sends terrorism.

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
