Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katsi threatened to destroy the Palestinian radical Hamas movement if it rejects the proposal of the US President's Special Ambassador Steven Whitcoff's proposal.
"Hamas murderers are facing a choice, accept" Whitkoff's deal, free or destroyed by the hostages, "he said.
He added that "the Israeli Defense Army continues to take action in Gaza," evacuating the local population from the air, land and sea on the territories. "
"After eliminating terrorists and cleaning the area, the Israeli defense forces eliminate any threat and continue to maintain this place," he said. In this way, in his words, Israel will "reach the goals of war", which consists of "releasing all hostages, while putting pressure on Hamas."
Earlier, Hamas confirmed that it is currently holding consultations on the last proposal received on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
