Hamas had one advantage going for it in Gaza. Once that was taken away, the Palestinian jihadists stood no chance.

The Israeli finance minister also called to encourage voluntary migration from Gaza, saying the Strip’s population could be reduced by more than half within two years.

“We must be allowed to fight until the end. And we believe that fighting until the end will force Hamas to bring us back our hostages.”

18-year-old Ofir Engel recounts being taken captive during the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre and held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 54 days.

About half of the 101 hostages held by the terrorists remain alive, the prime minister reportedly told lawmakers.

The meeting was convened in response to Hamas’s rejection of all proposals currently on the table, according to Hebrew media reports.

The move could have “dramatic” consequences for the ongoing ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, according to Hebrew media reports.

The IDF has killed some 1,200 terrorists in northern Gaza and is adamant not to let others return.

A terror group committed to the elimination of Israel should have no role in any Palestinian government—not in the West Bank and certainly not in the Gaza Strip.
