Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage release deal during talks in Doha on Wednesday.
The U.S. president-elect said his team “will continue to work closely with Israel and our allies to make sure Gaza never again becomes a terrorist safe haven.”
“A Hamas state will not only not solve the conflict, but will deteriorate security, peace and stability of the region,” stated Gideon Sa’ar.
The ad, which urged Netanyahu to end the "[expletive] war” against Hamas terrorism, was reportedly paid for by the radical Black Flag protest group.
“Contrary to reports, the Hamas terrorist group has not yet returned its response to the deal,” the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated.
Opponents in Jerusalem warned that concessions would invite further abductions, while in Tel Aviv demonstrators said a deal with Hamas was the only moral move.
Among the equipment seized were anti-tank missiles and RPG systems, mortar shells, explosive devices, observation equipment and two tanks, according to the IDF.
The Religious Zionism Party leader is demanding the dismantling of Hamas and renewed fighting in Gaza.
A senior IDF officer is calling for a new strategy amid mounting casualties in the northern Strip.
More than 50 targets were hit in Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the IDF.
“We will spare no effort in order for the prisoners to be released,” Masoud Pezeshkian told NBC.
“To not know the fate of your loved ones is unbearable,” said E.U. foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas
