❗️Israel Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:

"Look at Hamas' celebrations of the army's withdrawal from the Netzarim axis, which they describe as 'liberating the land again.' All they care about is the land, and it must be taken from them to harm them, show the price of defeat, and deter every enemy anywhere in the world.

And of course, a decisive step must be taken to open the door to encouraging the emigration of the Gaza population, in cooperation with President Trump, who understands very well the roots of the conflict and the only realistic solution. Only in this way can we do everything, everything, in order to free all the prisoners and eliminate the threat of Hamas from a position of strength.

Mr. Prime Minister, this plan must be presented for approval to the cabinet as soon as possible, in order to prepare for an immediate operation once the first stage of the deal is completed. This is the only realistic way to force Hamas to surrender and raise the white flag."
