‘Hamas will leave power or else we will capture Gaza …’, Israeli Ambassador threatened – Hamas Should Leave Power or Else We Will Occupy Gaza Israeli Ambassador Threets Ntcpas

Hamas should release the hostages from the Gaza Strip and leave the power and take the path of diplomacy. If this does not happen, Israel will control Gaza. This statement was made by Ambassador Ruveen Azar in Israeli in a conversation with India Today.

This statement of the ambassador has come after Israel’s heavy air strike on Gaza, killing more than 400 people. These attacks were the deadliest in the last two months, which ended the almost two months old ceasefire started in January. Israel blamed Hamas of denying the proposals for expansion of ceasefire.

What did the ambassadors of Israel say

Azar said that Israel was “waiting for a long time” for the release of the remaining hostages from Hamas. He justified military pressure on the Palestinian group to obtain a diplomatic solution to end the war.

He said, “We cannot continue the situation in which they are holding our hostages and are not releasing them. We decided to increase military pressure so that we could bring back our hostages and find a diplomatic solution of this struggle.”

He said that now there are two options of Hamas- if they do not cooperate with diplomacy and do not release the hostages, then we have to go there, capture that area and take the responsibility of human assistance ourselves.

The ambassador also said that Israel is ready to help the people of Gaza. When asked whether Israel is building a large buffer area in Gaza Strip or asking people to leave Gaza completely, Azar rejected it.

He said that Israel is not asking Palestinians to leave Gaza. What we are doing is that if Hamas does not accept American proposals, then we will capture that area. We will clean the Gaza Strip.
