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.

Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way?
The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down.
Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.
It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is –

That means that of the 2.1mn tonnes of urea — the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertiliser — that would normally have been loaded for export over the past two weeks, about half has been disrupted.
At the same time, more than 1.1mn tonnes of fertiliser and fertiliser inputs, including 570,000 tonnes of urea, is currently stuck in the Gulf, either being loaded or already on ships, according to Kpler data.
Nitrogen fertilisers, which underpin about half of global food production, are made from ammonia using natural gas, which has soared in price since the war began last month.
The shortages have begun during the northern hemisphere’s planting season, leading industry executives to warn of lower harvests for staples such as rice.
If the disruption continues, “this will be much worse than 2022”, said Veronica Nigh, senior economist at The Fertilizer Institute, a US-based trade group. “The longer the conflict goes on, the more dire the situation will become.”
