JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hardened his rejection of Hamas demands for an end to the Gaza war in exchange for the freeing of hostages, saying on Sunday, May 5, that would keep the Palestinian Islamist group in power and pose a threat to Israel. “But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the Gaza Strip, end the war, and leave Hamas in power,” Netanyahu said.“Hamas would be able to achieve its promise of carrying out again and again and again its massacres, rapes, and kidnapping.”
