00:00The Israeli Prime Minister instructed his army to take quote strong action against Hamas.

00:08What is Israel seeking to achieve at this particular moment?

00:13We are negotiating with Hamas in the last few months.

00:16They were not ready to release any hostages and at the same time they are announcing their

00:24military capability preparing for the war and it is an unacceptable situation in which

00:31they are preparing for the new war and we are doing nothing because we are negotiating

00:38the release of the hostages.

00:40So we decided that it would be clear for Hamas that there is a price if they don't release

00:45the hostages, Israel is ready to resume the war and the prices will be clear for them

00:52and then maybe they will be ready to negotiate.

00:56Up till now they said no to every offer of the Americans and the mediators so it is a

01:05situation that cannot be continued.
