Netanyahu critics are 'a violent and embarrassing cult'....Channel 12 journalist

 

Channel 12 News journalist Yaron Avraham issued a rare attack on opponents of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of preferring that the hostages not be freed merely so they can claim that US President Donald Trump “hurt” Netanyahu.

This is “a violent and disgraceful cult belonging to the most despicable category — those who, in the name of their hatred for Netanyahu, would even rather the hostages not be released, so long as Trump ‘screws’ him. Those who blame him for October 7, and justifiably so, but won’t give him credit for a heroic operation in Iran.”

Avraham also criticized “those who get angry when a political source is quoted (other than when it’s intended to sabotage a deal), yet showered [former Prime Ministers Yair] Lapid or [Naftali] Bennett with flattering propaganda pieces in the papers, as if they were personal Facebook posts. The lowest of the low.”

On Saturday night, Netanyahu issued a statement to the media regarding Hamas' apparent acceptance of Trump's proposal for ending the war in Gaza.

"Throughout the war, there were those who relentlessly claimed that we could not get back all of the hostages without withdrawing from Gaza. I believed otherwise, and I acted otherwise." 

He added: "In order to return the remaining 48 hostages, I instructed the IDF to enter Hamas' important fortress - Gaza City. At the same time, I detailed with President Trump the diplomatic process in which, instead of Israel being isolated, Hamas will be isolated." 

"I hear that there are those who say that Hamas was already prepared a year ago to release all of our hostages without us fully withdrawing from Gaza. That is simply a lie. What brought about the change in Hamas' position is the diplomatic and military pressure that we applied." Netanyahu concluded, "I thank my friend President Trump for his unyielding support. To you, I say: This is real, and it will happen very soon."

"I have instructed the negotiating team to leave for Egypt to finalize the technical details of our hostages' release. Our goal is to keep the negotiations limited to a few days. 

Trump said clearly: 

We will not put up with procrastination and evasiveness. During the second stage, Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be disarmed. It will either be achieved through diplomacy, or militarily, but it will be achieved."

"I hope that, with G-d's help, during the holiday of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) I will be able to announce to you the return of all our hostages - the living and deceased alike, as a single group, with the IDF remaining deep in Gaza," Netanyahu said.

Not One Of The 40 Gaza Flotilla Ships Carried Aid For Palestinians

 

None of the 40 vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla, intercepted by Israel on Yom Kippur, contained any humanitarian aid bound for Gaza, Israel’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said.

The ministry released footage showing the empty interior of one of the flotilla’s largest ships, narrated by Israeli Police spokesperson Dean Elsdunne. “It was never about bringing aid to Gaza,” Elsdunne said in the video. “It was about the headlines and social media followings.” He noted that the absence of supplies explained why flotilla organizers had rejected offers from Israel and other countries to transfer aid through legal channels rather than attempt to breach the naval blockade.

The controversy comes as additional flotillas head toward the Gaza Strip in defiance of Israeli warnings. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirmed that a ship named Conscience departed Italy on Wednesday carrying roughly 100 people — described by the group as a mix of activists, healthcare workers, and journalists.

Meanwhile, another eight boats that left Italy nearly a week ago are currently sailing near Crete, according to online tracking platforms.

Social media accounts tied to the Sumud Flotilla also claimed that a second convoy of 45 vessels had departed from the Turkish port of Arsuz, releasing video purportedly showing the departure. Israeli officials have not yet confirmed whether those boats are bound for Gaza.

The flotillas come amid intensifying pressure on Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where international aid groups have warned of shortages of food, medicine, and basic supplies. Israel, however, has repeatedly described the maritime convoys as security threats and propaganda stunts rather than relief missions.

Netanyahu says he hopes to announce return of all hostages during upcoming holiday, IDF will remain 'deep in Gaza.'

 

 Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening spoke to the media about Hamas' apparent agreementto release all hostages and discuss ending the war in Gaza.

"I hope that, with G-d's help, during the holiday of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) I will be able to announce to you the return of all our hostages - the living and deceased alike, as a single group, with the IDF remaining deep in Gaza," Netanyahu said.

"Throughout the war, there were those who relentlessly claimed that we could not get back all of the hostages without withdrawing from Gaza. I believed otherwise, and I acted otherwise."

He added: "In order to return the remaining 48 hostages, I instructed the IDF to enter Hamas' important fortress - Gaza City. At the same time, I detailed with President Trump the diplomatic process in which, instead of Israel being isolated, Hamas will be isolated."

"I hear that there are those who say that Hamas was already prepared a year ago to release all of our hostages without us fully withdrawing from Gaza. That is simply a lie. What brought about the change in Hamas' position is the diplomatic and military pressure that we applied."

Netanyahu concluded, "I thank my friend President Trump for his unyielding support. To you, I say: This is real, and it will happen very soon."

"I have instructed the negotiating team to leave for Egypt to finalize the technical details of our hostages' release. Our goal is to keep the negotiations limited to a few days. Trump said clearly: We will not put up with procrastination and evasiveness. During the second stage, Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be disarmed. It will either be achieved through diplomacy, or militarily, but it will be achieved."

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry has announced that the country will host delegations from Israel and from the Hamas terror group on Monday, "in order to discuss the conditions on the ground and the details of the release of all the Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, in alignment with US President Donald Trump's offer."

Trump Orders Israel To Suspend It's War With Gaza Because Hamas "says" it will "Negotiate"

 

 Israel’s military has been ordered to suspend its assault in Gaza City following a

 direct appeal from US President Donald Trump, who is pressing for an immediate halt 

to air and ground strikes as part of his initiative to end the war and secure the release 

of Hamas-held hostages.

According to the IDF, forces inside Gaza will now limit their activity to defensive 

measures only. Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir convened senior commanders 

for what the army described as a “special situational assessment in light of the 

developments.”

The military said Zamir instructed the IDF to begin preparations for

 “the implementation of the first stage of Trump’s plan to free the hostages,” 

stressing that protecting Israeli soldiers remains the army’s top priority.

 “All capabilities will be concentrated under Southern Command to defend our forces,” 

the statement read.

Zamir further emphasized that given the sensitive operational environment, 

units must maintain heightened readiness, awareness, and the ability to respond rapidly 

to threats.

Earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed that “Israel is 

prepared for the immediate implementation of the first stage of Trump’s plan for the 

release of all hostages.”

Trump’s public call to halt Gaza strikes followed a coordination call with Prime Minister 

Netanyahu, and Israel shifted the IDF to defensive-only operations while easing air 

activity. The army froze the push inside Gaza City but kept forces in place and warned 

civilians not to return as the area remains a combat zone. 

Hamas has signaled it will release all hostages under the U.S. framework, with the 

sequencing now focused on a full hostage deal first and end-of-war terms later in talks.

Jerusalem says it’s ready to implement the plan’s initial stage and dispatch negotiators

 to advance the exchange. 

Israel is not pulling back: 

Gaza City stays encircled, and troops hold the lines they’ve reached across most of the 

Strip to preserve leverage against Hamas terrorists during negotiations. Adraee

 reiterated that areas north of Wadi Gaza are still dangerous and residents should not 

return.
