Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday evening that negotiations regarding Israeli prisoners held in the Gaza Strip will henceforth be conducted "under fire," and vowed to escalate military operations as part of Israel's war of extermination against the Gaza Strip.

This came in a video statement by Netanyahu, following the resumption of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, in which he claimed that "Hamas rejected all the proposals presented to it repeatedly," while alleging that Israel had agreed to the proposal of the US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
