Israeli minister: deal with Hamas is foolishness!

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has strongly criticized the idea of a partial deal with Hamas for the release of hostages. He called such a proposal “utter foolishness.” The statement was made on his social media page.

According to Smotrich, Hamas is in deep crisis due to military pressure and changes in the distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. He believes that any limited or temporary agreement would give the terrorist organization a chance to “breathe” and recover — something he finds completely unacceptable.

The minister stressed that the only proper solution is to increase pressure on Hamas and force it into “a complete surrender agreement,” including the immediate release of all Israeli hostages. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
