Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that disarming Hamas is the next critical step following the return of 20 living hostages, echoing US President Trump’s warning of swift action if Hamas refuses.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the demands from him and US President Donald Trump are "very clear" that Hamas must disarm and demilitarize or "all hell breaks loose," in a Tuesday interview with CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil. "We agreed to give peace a chance," he said, commenting that now that the 20 remaining living hostages have been returned, disarmament and demilitarization must come next.
"First, Hamas has to give up its arms, and second, you want to make sure that there are no weapons factories inside Gaza. There's no smuggling of weapons into Gaza. That's demilitarization," the prime minister said. Hamas terrorists rejected the demand to disarm and demilitarize, which led to Trump issuing a warning that if the terror group does not disarm then "we will disarm them, and it'll happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm." Netanyahu told CBS that he heard Trump's comments, and paraphrased them as "all hell breaks loose." (Read More)
