World
The chief spokesperson for the Israeli army said on Wednesday that Hamas cannot be destroyed, prompting a swift response from the government, which reaffirmed its commitment to the goal of eliminating the Palestinian militant group.
“To say that we are going to make Hamas disappear is to throw sand in people’s eyes. If we don’t provide an alternative, in the end, we will have Hamas,” Rear Adm Daniel Hagari told Israel’s Channel 13 broadcaster.
His comments were quickly rebuffed by the office of Benjamin Netanyahu, whose cabinet has stated its Gaza offensive will not end until Hamas is defeated.
More than 37,431 Palestinians have been killed and 85,653 have been injured in Israeli military offensive on Gaza since 7 October, the Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
