Hamas facing ‘consequences’ for starting war with Israel

Author Douglas Murray says Hamas is facing the “consequences” of starting its war with Israel as he calls for the IDF to destroy the terrorist organisation. Western nations, including the United States, are putting pressure on Israel to reach a ceasefire deal with Hamas amid the rising civilian death toll in Gaza. “As one of the members of the war cabinet in Israel the other day said, Benny Gantz, there is no point in putting out three-quarters of a fire,” Mr Murray said. “You either put the fire out or you don't. You don't put out a bit of the fire and then leave it burning. “Extinguish the whole thing or there's no point and in the case of Gaza, extinguishing the whole thing is destroying Hamas completely, making sure they are never again operationally capable.”
