Former prime minister Naftali Bennett calls for the destruction of Hamas for its ceasefire violations, after the terror group appeared to hand over additional remains of a previously returned hostage rather than the body of an additional captive.
“Hamas is a cancer. Hamas must be destroyed,” he declares in a statement.
Bennett is widely seen as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main rival in upcoming elections, set to be held in the coming year.
