Gaza will be reduced to ruins if Hamas rejects Israel's terms: Katz

‘Israeli’ Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that ‘Israel’s’ “long arm” would reach its enemies wherever they are, stressing that it would not hesitate to use all available means to achieve its “security” objectives. 

Katz said Hamas must accept ‘Israeli’ conditions to end the offensive, which include the release of all captives and disarmament.

He warned that rejecting these demands would lead to the destruction of the movement and turn Gaza into “complete ruins.”

His remarks come a day after ‘Israel’ struck Qatar’s capital Doha while targeting Hamas negotiators on the latest US ceasefire proposal, killing six people.

While Hamas’ leadership survived the attack, five members were killed, including the son of senior leader and negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, along with a member of Qatar’s security forces.

A wave of regional and international condemnation followed the ‘Israeli’ attack, calling it a threat to Qatar’s sovereignty, others denouncing it as “cowardly,” and many describing it as a brutal act of aggression.
