IDF spokesman: ‘Defeating Hamas is in the interests of the entire region’

Israel National News reports: “IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Wednesday stressed that Hamas is not interested in bringing prosperity to Gazan civilians, and Israel’s war is against Hamas only – not the civilians of Gaza.

‘On October 7th, Hamas launched one of the most brutal and barbaric massacres in modern history, massacring Israeli men, women, and children in their beds, burning entire families alive, and using sexual violence as a weapon of war,’ Hagari said.

‘Hamas did not want the progress and prosperity that normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia could bring to this entire region. We seek a better future for all people in the region. Hamas seeks death and destruction. Which is why it dragged us into war.’

Hagari emphasized, ‘Defeating Hamas is the only option, it’s in the interests of the entire region.’…”
