Israeli minister: If our hostages are not at home by Ramadan, there will be fighting in Rafah

The Israeli authorities have repeatedly stated that the goal of their military operation in the Gaza Strip is the release of all hostages and the destruction of Hamas. And at the moment, the Israeli army is advancing to the south of the enclave, where more than half of Gazans are concentrated in the city of Rafah and its environs.

However, despite this, Israel resolutely declares that it will continue military operations in this area if Hamas does not release the hostages. In particular, this opinion was expressed by the Minister in the Israeli War Cabinet Benny Gantz, speaking at a conference of the leadership of US Jewish organizations in Jerusalem.



Hamas has until the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan (March 10) to release the hostages, Gantz said. Otherwise, Israel will expand its military operation in the south of the Gaza Strip.

The world and Hamas leaders must know that if our hostages are not home by Ramadan, fighting will continue everywhere, including the Rafah area

Gantz said.

Responding to criticism of a possible operation in Rafah, which would obviously lead to heavy civilian casualties, Gantz said that if Hamas militants surrender and release the hostages, “Gazans will be able to celebrate the holy holiday of Ramadan.”

In Rafah and its environs, according to some estimates, there are more than a million Palestinians, many of whom fled from other areas of Gaza, where the Israeli army has, so to speak, already visited.

    The fact that the hostages will not be home for Ramadan is clear even to a hedgehog. There is no end in sight to the war.

      Since Israel does not want to comply with UN decisions, the UN must cancel its decision to create the states of Israel and Palestine. Recognizing the right of Palestine to these territories. And let's be honest, it is not even the US administration that is to blame for what is happening in the world, but the Zionist financiers. Here is a worthy target for intelligence and precision weapons. In the name of peace on earth. hi

    The world and Hamas leaders need to know...
    What’s interesting is that they got into such crap, turning against themselves not only the entire Arab population of the region, which already had no “love” for Israel, but also most of the rest of the world, while continuing to threaten without listening to anyone. Our hands are already up to our elbows in the blood of the civilian population, but we want more.

        You've come to the wrong address. You should not ask this question to me, but to the UN or, in extreme cases, to the Anglo-Saxons with this question.

          Well, how is this not at the address?
          who wrote about the fact that they turned most of the world against themselves?
          I wanted to see examples of this "setting"? It's not visible somehow

        Exactly. Neither anyone nor where. Just words and nothing concrete. And the Jews, meanwhile, aimed to put the squeeze on the Palestinians. Hostages are nothing more than an excuse.

        sanctions on the everyday level against Jews. I don't even know which ones are worse. We'll have to change names again

    For some reason it seems to me that despite all the efforts of the USA, etc., Israel will disappear from the historical map of the world. Waves of Arabs will sweep away this state... It's a pity... Israel I, V, S, created it as a constant irritant counterweight to the Arabs.

      As long as the United States lives and thrives and as long as the Zionists sit there on Wall Street, Israel will not go anywhere. But there are no eternal states, we know that wink

    Which one is worse, Hamas or Tsahal? But it makes no difference, some thugs replaced others.
    Under the theme of hostages, Palestinians are being forced into Egypt, this is the real purpose of what is happening. Otherwise, Israel is interested in the hostages. Everything is organized and going according to plan

      The IDF was much worse - it exterminated much more civilians.
      By the way, could you finally start writing correctly?

      Why don't you like Hamas? Are they fighting the occupiers in the occupied territory, or were the Soviet partisans also supposed to babysit fascist goals?

    These Israeli minions and followers of Hitler should not issue ultimatums, but soap their necks.

    Doesn't Benny Gantz know that there are only refugees in Rafah?
    Or are they only capable of carrying out military operations against unarmed people?
    Like in the following video (https://t.me/arabia_socialism/10063).

    The Jews have completely lost their minds! However, what can you expect from them... Both the 1st and 2nd World Wars were organized with their active participation, and their fellow tribesmen were exterminated at the instigation of the Zionists. Moreover, the genocide and holocaust of the Slavic peoples took place - this is what the slaughter was started for (and in Asia - mainly the Chinese). The profits from the wars were received by the financial circles, where the same Jews predominate. In the current slaughter, the inspirers and perpetrators are the same, and the victims are their fellow tribesmen, the Semites. The snout has come out and is not even being covered. Israel must be liquidated once again.
