Jerusalem "will not allow Hamas murderers to rearm and threaten us again," the premier vowed.
Hamas will be disarmed “either the easy way or the hard way,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Knesset lawmakers on Monday, responding to terror chief Khaled Mashaal’s rejection of President Donald Trump’s demands for the Gaza Strip to be fully demilitarized.
“How did Khaled Mashaal put it yesterday? ‘We will continue on our path and we will not disarm.’ But we—and I commit to you—will not allow Hamas murderers to rearm and threaten us again,” he declared during a 40-signature debate in the Knesset, which the opposition can call once a month and which the prime minister is required to attend.
“We are acting every day to prevent this, and this mission will be completed either the easy way or the hard way,” he continued.
