Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected reports that a ceasefire in Gaza is imminent as the Biden-Harris administration has been upping the pressure to get a deal done with the election only two months away.

President Joe Biden returned to the White House earlier this week following Hamas terrorists executing six hostages after forcing them to make propaganda videos and had strong words for the leader of the Jewish democracy who he seemed to blame for the ongoing hostilities in Gaza, not the Islamic butchers who started the war with their massacre of more than 1,200 Israelis last October.

Netanyahu appeared on Fox News Thursday where he shot down a media report that the ceasefire Democrats have been demanding to appease Michigan Muslims was pretty much a done deal with an unnamed senior Biden administration official telling CNN that the agreement was 90 percent done.

“It’s exactly inaccurate. There’s a story, a narrative out there that there’s a deal out there, in fact, while we agreed in July and in May and July and in August to a deal, an American proposal, Hamas has consistently said no to every one of them. They don’t agree to anything,” Netanyahu told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade.

“That’s just a false narrative. They just want us out of Gaza so they can retake Gaza and do as they vow to do,” he continued, blasting the “butchery” of Hamas. “And you saw how horrible this butchery is the other day when they murdered in cold blood six of our hostages.”

“To ask Israel to make concessions after this murder is to send a message to Hamas, murder more hostages, you’ll get more concessions, that’s the wrong thing to do and I think the Israeli public overwhelmingly is united against that.”

After discussing the brutal treatment of the murdered hostages, the Israeli leader emphasized that he was doing everything he could to secure the release of the remaining hostages “but Hamas consistently refuses to make a deal so it’s not true, no. The report that there’s a deal out there and that the only thing holding it up is the Philadelphi tunnel is not merely not true, it’s just a direct falsehood.”

“This war would be over yesterday if Hamas just laid down its arms, released all the hostages, it’ll be over in two seconds, but Hamas is refusing to do that,” Netanyahu said later in the segment. “The obstacle to the end of this war is Hamas. The obstacle to the release of hostages is Hamas.”

“The ones who butchered and are slaying, murdering six people in cold blood, riddling them with bullets and then firing bullets into their heads, is Hamas,” he said. “It’s not Israel. It’s not me.”

“We’ll do everything we can to fight these savages and it’s a savagery that not only endangers Israel, it endangers all democracies,” Bibi added. “I have red lines. They were set before this massacre, this latest murder, but they’ve become redder… I have areas of flexibility, I’ve given them to my negotiating team, and I stand by them.”

“But now, to go and make concessions after these murders, It’s a license to kill hostages,” he said. “That’s what Hamas will understand. Kill hostages, get concessions. That’s just wrong, it’s not the right way to do it. And you know governments and leaders have a responsibility to do the right thing.”

He concluded by strongly emphasizing that the pressure for a deal should be put on Hamas and not Israel.
