Hamas has replaced all terrorists killed by Israel in Gaza with new recruits, says Blinken
Highlighting the reality that the defeat of Hamas cannot be achieved simply by winning on the battlefield and instead requires a political solution, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that Hamas has replaced nearly all terrorists killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip with new recruits US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that Hamas has replaced all terrorists killed by Israel with new recruits. Blinken’s remarks come at a time when Israel and Hamas are said to be on the brink of a deal for ceasefire in Gaza and release of hostages held by terrorists. Highlighting the reality that the defeat of Hamas cannot be achieved simply by winning on the battlefield and instead requires a political solution, Blinken said that a “clear alternative, a post-conflict plan and a credible political horizon for the Palestinians” is a must for peace to last for both Israelis and Palestinians. In a message that Yahya Sinwar –Hamas’ military leader at the time– sent to mediators, he called the death of Palestinian civilians, and I quote, “necessary sacrifices”, and said the more innocent Palestinians were killed, the more Hamas would benefit,” said Blinken.
