Israeli Foreign Minister Gedeon Sa’ar stated on Sunday that Israel did not succeed in dismantling Hamas’ military and government capabilities during the recent conflict in Gaza. Despite this setback, Sa’ar emphasized that Israel remains dedicated to achieving this goal in the future.
Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Sa’ar acknowledged that the initial objective of dismantling Hamas was not met. However, he highlighted that Israel was able to transform Hamas from a 'terror army' into a 'guerrilla group.'
While recognizing that the desired outcomes were not fully realized, Sa’ar reiterated Israel’s unwavering commitment to addressing this issue. He emphasized that efforts to neutralize Hamas’ military and government structures would persist.
The comments from the Israeli Foreign Minister come shortly after a ceasefire was implemented in Gaza, marking a temporary halt to the hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The conflict had resulted in significant casualties and destruction in the region.
Despite the challenges faced during the recent conflict, Israel’s determination to weaken Hamas and enhance security in the region remains steadfast. The ongoing efforts to address the threat posed by Hamas reflect Israel’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens and promoting stability in the region.
