If Hamas leaders were eliminated, war would end

This attack “will not change the nature of our relationship with the Israelis, but we will have to talk about it; especially what impact this will have” on truce efforts, Rubio told journalists.

According to the State Department, Rubio will travel to Israel to guarantee the support of the United States before several countries recognize a Palestinian state in the UN General Assembly.

Following the beginning of the War in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Israel decreased Hamas leaders and swore to destroy and expel the Palestinian territory group, where he rules since 2007.

“Hamas terrorist chiefs living in Qatar don’t care about the people of Gaza. They blocked all attempts to cease fire to prolong the war indefinitely,” Netanyahu said at X.

“Getting rid of them would eliminate the main obstacle to free all our hostages and end the war,” he added.

But for the hostage families forum, the main Israeli organization that brings together the relatives of the captives in Gaza, is Netanyahu himself who is preventing the end of the war.
