Israel has claimed that Hamas continues to push for war while also refusing to release the hostages. During a media briefing, Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel Gideon Sa’ar said that Hamas is ignoring the will and the rage of the citizens of Gaza for ending the war. Sa’ar said that instead of listening to its citizens, Hamas oppressed them brutally. He claimed that Hamas murdered, after torturing, demonstrators from the Gaza Strip this week. He said that recently, the British Parliament published the most complete report in the UK on the October 7th massacre, revealing chilling details, among them, about the horrifying sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7th. Sa’ar also said that Israel expects that Lebanon will take action to uproot terrorist organisations acting within its borders against Israel.
