FM Sa’ar: ‘Monstrous’ hostage handover shows Gaza must be demilitarized, deradicalized

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says that the “horrific and repulsive spectacle of twisted and monstrous minds” that Hamas put on during the transfer of slain hostages in Gaza this morning is evidence that all of Palestinian society must be deradicalized from “a deep sickness.”

“It is clear that the systematic poisoning of the younger generation in Palestinian society (in Gaza just as in Judea and Samaria) is eliminating any chance for peace,” he writes on X, using the West Bank’s biblical name. “A root canal treatment is required. The Palestinian terrorist armies must be eradicated and defeated. Gaza must be completely demilitarized.”

Backing US President Donald Trump’s proposal, Sa’ar writes that “those who want to emigrate from the hell of Gaza must be allowed a free choice.”

“Every person in the country or in the world who wants a better future for our region must support these principles,” Sa’ar insists.
