Israel will “return to military operations and fighting” if Hamas doesn’t release hostages, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says in a briefing with ambassadors from European Union countries.
“A decision by Hamas to not release the hostages is a decision to return to the war,” he says, adding that “we have not done anything unilaterally so far.”
Sa’ar also says the country is prepared “for the fact that Hamas may attack Israel.”
