Foreign Ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein stated that "from now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military intensity," hours after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a surprise attack against the Islamic terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, following the failure of negotiations to free hostages and extend the ceasefire that began on January 19.
“Since this morning, Israel has been operating in full force against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip,” Marmorstein said on his X account, adding that the country has reached this situation “after Hamas repeatedly rejected proposals to extend the ceasefire and free our hostages.”
"Hamas rejected two concrete mediation proposals presented by US Presidential envoy Steve Witkoff. Israel accepted these mediation proposals. Hamas rejected them," the message states.
The first phase of the ceasefire signed between Israel and Hamas ended on March 2 without agreement on the implementation of the second phase contemplated in the truce.
The second phase included a definitive ceasefire, but Israel advocated extending the first phase without committing to it and including further releases of Israeli hostages in exchange for imprisoned Palestinian terrorists, in line with the aforementioned US proposals.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson added that Israel is "striking Hamas terrorist targets throughout the Gaza Strip with the aim of achieving the objectives of the war, which include the release of all our hostages, the dismantling of Hamas's military and government infrastructure, and the elimination of the terrorist threat from Gaza to the security of Israel and its citizens."
"From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military intensity," he concludes in his message.
This morning, Israel began bombing Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip after a nearly two-month ceasefire in the enclave, in what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a "strong crackdown on the Hamas terrorist organization," accusing the group of failing to hand over the 59 people kidnapped on October 7, 2023, who remain captive in the territory (around thirty dead).

Sheinbaum endorses Nadya Rasheed, the ambassador of the State of Palestine to Mexico.
Palestine is neither a state nor a nation, it has no president or presidential cabinet, and the Nazi terrorist group carried out a coup d'état against the Palestinian Authority without being a nation, so where does its ambassador come from?
This recognition of the supposed Palestinian ambassador is an acceptance of the Vatican's Nazi two-state policy of Bergoglio and Carol Boitila, where Palestine is not a nation to date, but the territory of Palestine is in favor of the Vatican, which also seeks to seize Jerusalem, historically the property of Israel.
Recognizing Palestine as a nation is to agree with Hamas's invasion and killing of its hostages against the people of Israel.
The USA and other nations already have their embassies in Jerusalem, Israel.
Doña Claudia doesn't understand the religious conflict in the Middle East, and the Foreign Ministry is forcing her to commit a failure in international relations by siding with the murderous terrorists against Israel.
May God bless, protect, strengthen and give wisdom to Israel and Mexico always..!!!!
