In a special cabinet meeting in Nahariya, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked US President-elect Donald Trump for his strong stance on the issue of hostages held by Hamas. Trump had posted on social media, warning that there would be “all hell to pay” if the hostages were not released by his inauguration on January 20. Netanyahu praised this statement as a clear indication that Hamas is responsible for the situation, emphasizing that the focus should be on Hamas rather than Israel.
Netanyahu also reaffirmed Israel’s commitment to doing everything in its power to secure the hostages’ release, warning that those responsible for harming them would be held accountable. Additionally, Netanyahu addressed the ongoing ceasefire with Hezbollah, cautioning that while Israel is committed to peace, any violations by Hezbollah would be met with force. He reiterated his commitment to ensuring safety and stability in northern Israel, emphasizing that the north would remain calm, prosperous, and secure.
