Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in an exclusive interview with Euronews
that the onus is on Hamas to agree to a U.S.-backed ceasefire deal
At least five people have been killed after Russia launched a large-scale combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight into Sunday
Prime Minister Netanyahu, thank you for joining us. To begin, we want to focus on the recent developments surrounding the latest deal with Hamas
Now, the deal comes close to exactly two years since the Hamas attack on the 7th of October
We might see the hostages freed on the same day they were taken two years ago
Is this what makes this a good deal for Israel? Well, we accepted the deal, as did all the world
It was President Trump's plan. Hamas says that it accepted the deal
Now the onus is on Hamas. This plan consists of two parts
The first part is releasing all the hostages. Israel makes a tactical withdrawal, stays in Gaza
And then the second part is meant to demilitarize Gaza and disarm Hamas That will be negotiated Prime Minister just to follow up so what happens if Hamas does not release the hostages
What will Israel do? How Israel will change its stance and the strategy
Of course, I can't tell you if Hamas will agree to it. I think that it's possible
I hope it will happen, but I can't guarantee that it will happen. And so if it doesn't happen, what President Trump has said is that he will back Israel
completely in acting forcefully against Hamas. Well, let's hope that we can finish it the easy way and not the hard way
Prime Minister, Europe has been visibly absent from this process. Europe has been absent because Europe has basically caved in to Palestinian terrorism
to radical Islamist minorities in their midst. And they basically said, let's do, just give them a Palestinian state
which would be the ultimate reward for Hamas after doing the greatest massacre against the Jews since the Holocaust
now will give you a state in which you can continue the war against Israel
That's why Europe has essentially become irrelevant and displayed enormous weakness If you want to fight terror stand up and fight terror Stand up and be forceful against terrorism Don capitulate to its demands Don feed the crocodile in Churchill words
because it's going to come after you after it devours Israel or any other country
At least five people have been killed after Russia launched a large-scale
combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight into Sunday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said nine regions were targeted
including Liviu, Zaporytia and Odessa, with Cruz, Kinza missiles and Shahid drones
In Liviu, a Thai family of four, including a teenage girl, died when missiles struck residential areas and an industrial park that later caught fire
In the southern city of Zaporytia, one woman was killed and nine others injured
Local officials said the attack destroyed homes and left around 3,000 households without power
The assault came just a day after a deadly strike on a train station that left dozens injured
Kiev called the attack savage and said it was designed to hit rescuers and civilians fleeing the scene Russia has stepped up airstrikes on Ukraine rail networks and energy grids ahead of winter
a tactic seen in previous years since Moscow's full-scale invasion began. A heavy police presence lingered in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Sunday
one night after intense clashes between riot police and protesters. Police used water cannons to push back crowds who tried to storm the gates of the presidential palace
Tens of thousands had gathered to protest against the ruling Georgian Dream party
accusing it of steering the country away from the European Union. The party froze EU membership talks last year, calling Brussels' approach blackmail
Georgian Dream insists the country's path to EU membership remains steady. Saturday's rally, called the National Assembly, saw protesters accuse the government of political
backsliding and demand new leadership. It was held as eight opposition parties boycotted municipal elections which were ultimately dominated
by Georgian Dream
