Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed his weekly meeting on the operation in Rafah which freed two hostages, Fernando Marman and Louis Har. He also commented on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to send the head of the Shin Bet (ISA) to Cairo for talks to free the remaining hostages.
After praising the daring rescue, Smotrich said that “last night’s action proves once again what we have said many times, that the way to bring the hostages home is through the victory and destruction of Hamas. The delusional demands of Hamas for the release of thousands of terrorists and murderers, for the expulsion of Jews from the Temple Mount, for the end of the war and the withdrawal of IDF forces oblige us to give them One clear and decisive answer: W-A-R!!!”
Israel must be allowed to finish the job. Anything less is caving in to world leaders and the wider population who do not understand terrorism and its ultimate goal – the destruction of Israel.
