“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the death of six captives on Sunday, claiming the incident "shows that Hamas is unwilling to agree to a ceasefire."

Netanyahu said he received the news with “great sadness” and accused Hamas of killing the captives "cold-bloodedly," asserting that “Israel” would hold the group responsible.

He also alleged that Hamas is obstructing ceasefire efforts, stating, "Those who kill [captives] are not seeking peace."

He vowed that Hamas would face consequences for the captives' deaths in Gaza, as well as for the earlier killing of three “Israeli” police officers in Hebron.

Netanyahu emphasized that “Israel” will continue its efforts until those responsible are found and held accountable, and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to securing the release of the remaining captives.
