Peloni: Video in Hebrew with Translation below. Netanyahu remains defiant that though there are preconditions following the two months ceasefire, by diplomacy if possible, and by war if necessary, four demands will be met: “Hamas must disarm, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Hamas can no longer have any governing or military capabilities.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Washington:
“This is the final day of a historic visit following the historic victory in the war against Iran. What was agreed between President Trump and me, regarding matters related to Gaza, the region, and even beyond the region — that story is still to be told.
I want to begin this day by sending heartfelt condolences, on behalf of myself and my wife, to the family of the victim murdered in Gush Etzion.
We have achieved very significant accomplishments in the fight against terrorism, both in Judea and Samaria and in the broader area, but there are also painful prices.
I want to send, also on your behalf, a warm and heartfelt embrace to the family of the victim. May God avenge his blood.
Yesterday I met with the families of hostages, both the deceased and the living. I invited them here to be present at the close of the visit — because the matter is not over.
We are determined to bring everyone back. I told them that. I told them that we are currently trying to achieve the release of half of the living and deceased hostages, in exchange for a temporary 60-day ceasefire. At the start of this ceasefire, we would enter negotiations on ending the war permanently — meaning a permanent ceasefire.
To achieve this, it must be under the minimum conditions we’ve set: Hamas must disarm, Gaza must be demilitarized, and Hamas can no longer have any governing or military capabilities. These are our foundational conditions.
If this can be achieved through negotiation — all the better. If not, we will achieve it by other means — through the force of our heroic military.
We said the same thing regarding Iran — the removal of the nuclear threat. If it can be achieved in 60 days of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, great. But if not, it will be achieved by other means.
I hear the questions being asked by the public, the soldiers, the reservists:
‘Why is this taking so long?’
First, this is a combat theater that no other army in the world has faced.
Thanks to the courage of our fighters, the sacrifice of our fallen, and our tactics, we dismantled most of Hamas’s military capabilities — but not all. There are still thousands of fighters with weapons, and we want to act again, using a combination of diplomacy and military force — and military force if diplomacy doesn’t work — to complete the mission.
We also faced an American embargo — ‘Don’t enter Rafah,’ ‘Don’t take Philadelphi.’ These were not easy things. We overcame that, and now we want to complete the operation.
Let me remind you — over the past month and months, while we were preparing and ultimately executing what may be the most brilliant military operation in our history — certainly one of the most brilliant — the world was amazed.
During that, we continued to advance in Gaza, and rescue deceased hostages, and we haven’t let up — not for a moment, and even now we don’t stop.
They told us: ‘You won’t go back to war.’ After the first ceasefire agreement, we went back.
They told us: ‘You won’t fight again.’ After the second ceasefire — we went back.
Now they say: ‘You won’t go back to fighting’ after a third ceasefire —
Want me to go on?
I think we’ve shown determination, strength, and commitment to achieving all our goals. Again — if the disarmament and elimination of Hamas’s capabilities are achieved through negotiation, great. But one way or another, they will be achieved.
I hear the questions: ‘Who will determine the order of the released hostages?’
First of all, let them be released.
But to this day — and I’m saying this — we are dealing with a cruel terrorist organization.
Of course, we would like to rescue everyone, and as far as we’re concerned — they are all humanitarian cases.
I want to rescue all of them in one blow.
Right now we are working in two phases — but not everything is in our hands.
We will do everything to maximize this release in the best possible way.
Not everything is in our control.”
