“חמאס זה רעיון, חמאס זה מפלגה. זה נטוע בלבבות של האנשים – מי שחושב שאנחנו יכולים להעלים את חמאס הוא טועה”.

“Hamas is an idea; Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people — whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong”

IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told channel 13 news yesterday that “This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear — it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public”. Hagari also warned that “if the government doesn’t find an alternative — [Hamas] will remain” in the Gaza Strip.
