Killing Hamas Leaders is Route to Ending Gaza War

“Hamas terrorist chiefs living in Qatar do not care about people in Gaza. They prevented all cease -fire attempts to drag the war forever.” He said.

“He would get rid of the main obstacle to get rid of them, release all our hostages and end the war.”

His comments, Rubio’s shortly after that President Donald Trump’s Qatar strike, said his alliances would not be affected.

Rubio said, “We will not change the nature of our relationship with the Israelis, but we will have to talk about it – first of all, what effect on diplomatic efforts to bring a ceasefire in Gaza.

After months of unsuccessful negotiations, a ceasefire speech still came with Israel’s intensification of his campaign in the Gaza Strip.

Recently, he increased his efforts to seize the control of Gaza City, the largest urban area of ​​the region, to evacuate the residents and to fly a large number of high -rise buildings, which he said was used by Hamas.

According to the Israeli army and Hamas, thousands of people emptied the city, while many remained more.

Since the end of August, the UN estimated that about one million people lived in and around the city, where Israel declared a famine responsible for aid restrictions.

Bakri Diab, who fled from the Western Gaza city for the south, said that the strikes of Israel continued there.

“The bombing is happening here-not safe,” he said.

“The only thing the occupation does is to force people to places with basic services and safety places.”

Gaza Civil Defense Agency said that 32 people were killed by Israeli fire on Saturday.

Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in reaching many areas mean that AFP cannot independently confirm the details provided by the Civil Defense Agency or the Israeli army.

– ‘An obstacle’ –

Netanyahu and his government challenged international criticisms during the two -year war, but this week continued to mount it.

On Friday, the UN General Assembly voted to support the re -revival of the two -state solution to openly challenge the Israeli opposition.

In addition to many other Western countries, Israel’s allies, as well as many other Western countries, are preparing to recognize the Palestinian state from the Israeli’s behavior in the Gaza War and occupied West Lands.

London and Paris, where Berlin participated in, wanted to immediately stop the attack of Israel in Gaza.

However, Israel maintains the support of the US, the most powerful ally and the largest weapon supplier.

Before Rubio’s visit, Foreign Ministry spokesman Tommy Pigott said the diplomatic chief would show our struggle with anti -Israel actions, including unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state that rewarded Hamas terrorism. “

He said: “In addition, he will emphasize our common goals: Hamas will never manage Gaza again and bring all the hostages home.”

At home, the opponents of the Netanyahu government tried to pressure the ministers to end the war in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

On Saturday, the main campaign group hostages and Lost Families Forum accused Israel of being a “obstacle” to release hostages, and again accused him of sabotaging his cease -fire efforts.

In October 2023, 47 out of 251 people, where Palestinian militants were hostage, stayed in Gaza, 25 army says they died.

– ‘worrying passiveness’ –

Brian Katulis, a senior man at the Middle East Institute, said Rubio’s probability of pushing Israel towards a ceasefire.

“There is a worrying passive in Gaza to obtain a ceasefire in Gaza,” former President Bill Clinton, who works on the Middle East policy. He said.

“The administration seems to be listening more to the base of the Evangelical Christians who allied with their own Huckabees and right -wing Israelis,” Mike Huckabe, a Baptist priest, referred to the US ambassador in Jerusalem.

“The views are far from the mainstream of the Arab states,” Trump said, although the Saudi Israeli diplomatic normalization agreement continues, “his views are far from the mainstream of the Arab states. He said.

In Jerusalem, Rubio will visit Netanyahu and Western Wall on Sunday, according to the Israeli Prime Ministry.

According to an AFP of official figures, the war resulted in the death of civilians with Hamas’s attack on October 2023 Israel.

According to the Ministry of Health in Hamas-Territory, Israel’s retaliation campaign in Gaza also killed at least 64,803 people.
