Hamas
Pope Francis on Monday met with several families whose loved ones have been held hostage since Oct. 7.
The Yesh Atid Party leader told reporters outside the U.S. State Department that in his opinion, an exchange with Hamas terrorists is difficult but “doable.”
“We have seen them reject a number of proposals before that we have thought would deliver incredible benefits to the Palestinian people that they claim to represent,” a U.S. State Department spokesman said.
“It will happen,” stated the Israeli prime minister.
“President Biden must stand with Israel until Hamas is in ruins,” stated Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.).
Six Israelis will describe their ordeals to a total of 1,200 students in 12 cities.
The resolution criticizes the U.S. president’s recent call with the Israeli prime minister and a U.N. Security Council vote, which passed when Washington held its veto and abstained.
A senior Hamas official rejected reports of progress, saying Israel “did not respond to any of the terror group’s demands.”
The posts were used to fire at southern Israel throughout the war. No civilians were harmed in the precision strikes.
Families of hostages demand international pressure on Hamas, six months into their loved ones’ captivity.
“There is no limit to the amount of aid that can be facilitated for the civilians in Gaza,” said the Israeli Defense Ministry’s COGAT unit.
Sources at the airport said the officer, of Pakistani origin, had previously faced complaints for harassing Israelis passing through Schiphol Airport.
