Far-right minister denounces ‘sickening’ Hamas hostage handover event in Gaza, calls for war to resume

Settlements and National Missions Minister Orit Strock denounces Hamas for its “sickening show” in parading the four surveillance soldiers set free from captivity today in front of a crowd of Gazans before transferring them to the Red Cross, and calls for a resumption of fighting in Gaza.

“I dare to speak for the many who are happy and excited about the return home of Liri, Naama, Karina and Daniela, and at the same time whose hearts are soured by the sickening demonstration of the terrorists in Gaza Square and the knowledge that if we don’t come to our senses, Hamas will return to reestablish its terror empire in the [Gaza] Strip and these terrible images will repeat themselves over and over again,” says the far-right minister.

“If the State of Israel desires life, it is obligated to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth and not stop until the mission is completed.”
