“He seems to be having a hard time making a decision that likely means the end of Hamas rule“Because the minute he delivers an important letter, necessary for survival, to our hostages, it will not be easy for him, and that is why everything is delayed,” he said in an interview with Israeli television. Channel 12.

Sinvar, according to Hanegbi, “He’s living a borrowed life” and stressed that Israel had come close to destroying him in recent months, that they had failed to attack him “for days” in the Gaza tunnels and that “he will not come out of this confrontation alive.” “Their fate is sealed, but we must be patient,” he added.

Hanegbi called Sinwar a “Nazi killer” in response to reports that he was being perceived as a modern-day Saladin and that He is the man who has ever caused the most damage to Israel..

“He caused over 40,000 deaths in his city and he doesn’t care. 14 thousand terrorists died, which is even more painful,” he noted. Moreover, he added that Israel has gone through more difficult times than thesesuch as the 1973 Yom Kippur War or the Second Intifada.

Once the proposed agreement is closed, he explained, it will be necessary “Humanitarian pause in the north, south and center” of the Gaza Strip. “It will be difficult for any minister to vote yes, but it will free living people,” but in no way means “the end of the war.”

The purpose of the war

Regarding the “next day” offensive, he argued that when Americans fought the Nazis for four years, they did not think about what would happen the next day.
