Netanyahu: Israel's Control of Gaza a Condition for Ending War, Hamas Rejects Terms

Israel's Conditions for Ending the War

• 🎯 Continuous security control of Gaza is stated as a primary condition for ending the war, a condition that Hamas refuses to accept.
• 🔑 Israel insists not only on the disarmament of Hamas but also on maintaining long-term demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.
• ⚡ This involves continuous action against any attempts by terrorist groups to rearm or organize.

Consequences of Ending War Without Hamas Defeat

• ⚠️ Those calling for an end to the war without defeating Hamas are seen as hardening Hamas's position and delaying the release of hostages.
• 🔁 It is argued that failing to achieve decisive victory will lead to a recurrence of the October 7th attacks and an endless cycle of conflict.

Commitment to Completing the Mission

• 🚀 To advance the release of hostages and ensure Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel, the mission to defeat Hamas must be completed.
• ✅ This stance aligns with the decision made by the Israeli cabinet the previous week, with a firm resolve to implement it.
