"Hamas will not rule Gaza. They will not cause another Oct. 7. And we will work with Israel to make sure that doesn't happen," the US national security advisor stated.
(Feb. 25, 2025 / JNS) U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said on Monday that Hamas fears President Donald Trump, and that this is why the Gaza-based terror group is freeing hostages.
“Hamas is listening to the president … 29 hostages are alive today and reunited with their families because the whole world listened when President Trump said there would be all hell to pay after the Biden administration couldn’t get this done for 15 months,” Waltz told “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence B. Jones.
Waltz compared Hamas to Islamic State in condemning its treatment of hostages.
