Hamas says Gantz’s threats aimed at attracting votes of ‘extremists’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas spokesperson Hazem Qassim reacts to threats made last week by Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz that if he is made prime minister, the next war will see the IDF enter Gaza, defeat Hamas and kill all its commanders.
“Gantz’s threats to assassinate [Hamas leader] Yahya Sinwar and the top Hamas commanders are meant to attract the votes of extremists within the Zionist society in the upcoming elections,” Qassim says on Facebook.
“Gantz should remember how the resistance reacted when he was chief of staff,” he adds, referring to the 2014 Gaza War, during which Gantz was the army chief.
