Government Media Office: Netanyahu Torpedoes Negotiation Path and Exploits Talks to Continue Genocide
The Government Media Office in Gaza on Monday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting the 'fifteen-point document,' calling it a 'clear and explicit coup against the negotiation path' and warning of its repercussions on calm and humanitarian conditions. It affirmed that Netanyahu is setting 'impossible conditions,' most notably refusing to withdraw from the Strip, considering the rejection a 'deliberate blow to mediators' efforts' and an attempt to evade the obligations of the second phase. It called on mediators and the international community to pressure for an end to the 'genocide war' and implementation of the agreement.
The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip issued a statement on Monday, August 10, 2026, accusing Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of rejecting the 'fifteen-point document,' describing it as a 'clear and explicit coup against the negotiation path and its outcomes.' The office warned of serious repercussions on the path to calm and the humanitarian situation in the Strip. The statement explained that Netanyahu is setting 'impossible conditions and illusory demands,' most notably refusing any withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza, considering that these positions hinder calm efforts and exacerbate humanitarian deterioration. It affirmed that rejecting the document represents a 'deliberate and direct blow to mediators' efforts' and an attempt to evade the obligations of the second phase of the agreement, noting that the occupation is exploiting the negotiations as a 'false political cover to buy time and pass its destructive projects.' The office accused the occupation of not respecting commitments and seeking to return negotiations to 'square one' by creating new crises. It held Netanyahu and army leaders 'full legal, political, and criminal responsibility' for the consequences of intransigence. It called on mediators, the international community, and the United Nations to pressure immediately to stop the 'genocide war' and implement the agreement, demanding an immediate withdrawal, opening crossings, lifting the siege, allowing aid in, and starting reconstruction. It affirmed that the Palestinian people will continue their steadfastness and that 'military and political blackmail policies' will not succeed in breaking their will.
