He added on Thursday in a press statement that “Hamas will not accept any deal as long as it can revive itself,” adding, “We must work to undermine Hamas’s military strongholds until we reach its disarmament,” according to the Israeli “Jerusalem Post.”
He continued, “Hamas must face either a continuous war or surrender,” stating that “the problem of Gaza’s residents can be solved by their voluntary migration from the strip.”
The Israeli Finance Minister emphasized the necessity for the army to implement the Security Cabinet’s decision regarding Gaza, calling for the partial annexation of parts of Gaza each week until most areas become part of Israel.
Smotrich criticized some Israelis who are calling for a ceasefire, describing their calls as surrender appeals that will not be heeded.
From October 7, 2023, until August 28 of the current year, the war on Gaza has resulted in the death of about 63,000 Palestinians and approximately 160,000 injured, according to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
