Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Israeli Tanks Press Deeper into Gaza After Netanyahu Rules Out Ceasefire, Condemns Hostage Video

HeadlineOct 31, 2023

Israeli troops and tanks have pushed further into the besieged Gaza Strip after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday refused to agree to a ceasefire.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen.”

Netanyahu’s comments came as Hamas released a video showing three Israeli women held captive in Gaza. In the video, hostage Daniel Aloni fiercely criticizes the Israeli prime minister for failing to prevent the October 7 attack. Netanyahu dismissed the video as “cruel psychological propaganda.” On Monday, Israel said it had freed Israel soldier Ori Megidish, who was taken prisoner by Hamas on October 7. Israeli officials also announced the death of 23-year-old Shani Louk, who was kidnapped by Hamas from a music festival in southern Israel.
