The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed Sunday that no ceasefire will take place in Gaza unless captives are released by Hamas.

He also added that "Israel" will continue its ruthless aggression on the Strip until "we defeat them [The Palestinian Resistance]."

Speaking to Israeli soldiers, Netanyahu stated that the issue of a ceasefire without the return of the captives should be "taken out of the lexicon altogether."

"We say this to our enemies and to our friends. We will continue until we defeat them, we have no choice. I think everyone understands that today," he continued.

Former Israeli Mossad chief Danny Yatom said Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has caused a lot of harm to "Israel," affirming that he continues to do so during the war on Gaza.

According to Israeli media reports, Yatom stated that "Netanyahu still prioritizes his own interests and then those of Israel," indicating that his "considerations are impure," and calling for his replacement.

The spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation has committed 24 massacres in just the past 24 hours, resulting in 243 martyrs as the aggression on Gaza continued for one month now.

"The occupation set a record in the number of massacres committed, in which children and women were killed," Ashraf al-Qudra said, pointing out that "it has been conducting a genocide and ethnic cleansing for 30 days" since the start of the aggression on October 7.

He noted that the number of martyrs has risen to 9,770, including 4,800 children and 2,550 women.

Israeli media quoted the families of the Israeli settlers who died in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as saying that "Benjamin Netanyahu led Israel to the biggest catastrophe in its history."

Voicing the position of the families of the Israeli casualties, the settler called for Netanyahu's resignation, saying: "For the sake of saving Israel and saving us, Netanyahu must leave now, yes, in the midst of the war, right now."

US officials urge 'Israel' to make use of time before support is up

US media reported on Friday that the current administration is facing increased pressure to change its position on the war on Gaza and call for a ceasefire.

While Biden initially pledged unwavering support for "Israel," during his first visit to the Israeli occupation, Biden has recently adopted a change of tone when he stated he was in favor of a "pause" that would allow the release of captives.

On Thursday, he stated that Washington will continue to back "Israel’s right to defend" itself “in line with international law,” while also ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.

According to CNN, top Biden administration officials have reportedly warned "Israel" that there is only a limited window of time to accomplish its goal of "eradicating Hamas" from Gaza, as it will become more difficult to sustain the aggression on the Gaza strip, due to the international outcry. 

Hundreds of thousands of people have protested globally against the aggression, calling on their governments and leaders to back a ceasefire and end their support for the Israeli occupation.

Unnamed sources were cited by CNN, claiming that Biden's close advisors think the White House could have to declare a ceasefire in a few weeks.
