Fact check: Israeli prime minister Netanyahu's speech at UNGA
"Claim: If Hamas agrees to Israel's demands, the war could end right now. Factcheck: Israel, with full political and military support from the US, has blocked numerous efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. Netanyahu and his government have been repeatedly blasted by the families of captives held in Gaza, along with hundreds of thousands of Israelis, who protested to call for an end to the war and the return of all captives."
"On March 18, Israel torpedoed a ceasefire deal with Hamas by killing over 400 Palestinians and starting a months-long total blockade that led to famine in the enclave. Earlier this month, Israel claimed it had agreed to a ceasefire proposal again, only to immediately bomb Qatar in an ultimately failed effort to wipe out the entire political leadership of Hamas outside Gaza and kill any hope of negotiations."
"Factcheck: Contrary to Netanyahu's statement that the ratio of non-combatant to combatant casualties in Gaza is less than two to one, an investigation in August revealed that a classified Israeli database clearly showed that 83 percent of the people Israel was killing in Gaza were civilians. The investigation by +972 magazine, Local Call, and the Guardian showed that out of the list of 8,900 names of Hamas fighters in the database,"
