“This last warning, fold weapons or we will destroy you.” The Minister of Defense of Israel threatens Hamas

The Israeli defense minister Israel Kac issued a “last warning” for Hamas on Monday, threatening that if he did not release hostages and laid a weapon, he would be annihilated. 10 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip that day. At the same time, Hamas and Israel expressed their readiness to negotiate about the truce.

“Today, a powerful hurricane will hit the sky above Gaza and the roofs of terror towers will shine,” wrote the hangover on the website X. He also warned “murderers and rapists from Hamas in Gaza and in luxury hotels abroad” that if they do not release Israeli hostages and do not lay down their arms, the gauze will be destroyed and they will die themselves.

Kac added that the Israeli army continues the offensive for the city of Gaza and is preparing for the intensification of fights.

In Israeli attacks, 10 people were killed on the Gaza Strip on Monday – the civil defense of this territory controlled by Hamas informed.

Israel's intense attacks on gauze as part of a new offensive aimed at taking this largest city of Palestinian territory have been underway for several weeks. From Friday, the Israeli troops conducted a series of strikes on skyscrapers located in the city, indicating that the buildings are used by Hamas fighters.

The Ministry of Health of the Gaza Zone said on Sunday that 87 people were killed in the previous day. In analogous messages on Saturday and Friday, 68 and 69 fatalities were reported.

Also US President Donald Trump wrote on Sunday evening that he gave Hamas a “last warning” and called the group to free all Israeli hostages. The American president added that Hamas should adopt his truce conditions, which “already accepted Israel”.

According to the Israeli press, the American proposal would assume the release of all kidnapped and subsequent negotiations about the total end of the war.

Hamas responded to Trump's call, declaring that he was ready for immediate conversations about the contract, thanks to which all hostages would regain their freedom in exchange for the end of the war and the withdrawal of the Israeli from the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar stated on Monday that his country expresses his readiness to accept a full agreement ending the war, which would include the release of the kidnapped and laying weapons by Hamas.

The negotiations about the truce for months have been in an impasse for several weeks. Hamas strives to not only end the war by releasing hostages, but to keep some of the strength and power in the Gaza Strip. Israel declares that the war will end only when Hamas fits the weapon and waive power.

The war in the Gaza Strip has been going on from October 7, 2023, when the rulers of this territory Hamas attacked the south of Israel, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping 251. According to the Israeli army, from 48 people still kept by Hamas at least 20 still lives. According to local authorities controlled by Hamas, over 64.4 thousand died in Israeli. Palestinians.
