Netanyahu Warns That If All Hostages Are Not Returned, The Gates Of Hell Will Open In Gaza
Netanyahu’s Warning to Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Hamas on Sunday, stating that he would “open the gates of hell” in Gaza if the Palestinian militant group did not return all hostages. The statement came during a joint appearance with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, signaling a united front between the US and Israel in dealing with the ongoing conflict.
A Joint Strategy
Netanyahu emphasized that the US and Israel have a common strategy in addressing the situation in Gaza, although he did not divulge specific details to the public. The Prime Minister made it clear that if all hostages were not released, drastic measures would be taken to eliminate Hamas’s military capabilities and political rule in Gaza.
“We will bring all our hostages home, and we will ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel,” Netanyahu asserted. The support of the United States in this endeavor was highlighted as crucial for achieving these objectives quickly and effectively.
Bold Vision for Gaza’s Future
During the meeting, Netanyahu and Rubio also discussed US President Donald Trump’s vision for the future of Gaza. Trump recently proposed taking over the Gaza Strip and transforming it into a “Riviera of the Middle East”, while relocating Palestinian residents to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan. This controversial proposal has sparked global outrage.
Rubio acknowledged that Trump’s plan for Gaza may have surprised many, but he commended the President for his bold and visionary approach. The Senator emphasized the need for a new direction and the elimination of Hamas as a military and governing force in the region.
A Call for Action
Rubio stressed that the immediate priority is the safe return of hostages held in Gaza since Hamas’s attack in October 2023. He declared that Hamas must be eradicated to prevent further cycles of violence and instability in the region.
The joint statement from Netanyahu and Rubio underscored the commitment of both countries to addressing the Gaza crisis and working towards a peaceful and secure future for the region. Netanyahu expressed confidence that with the support of the US, Israel could achieve its goals and ensure the safety of its citizens.
