Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Hamas terrorist organisation should expect more military and political pressure in the coming days.
Netanyahu vowed that Israel would overcome its enemies because its military is strong.
Posting on X, the Prime Minister said the military and political pressure is the only condition to release abducted Israelis.
He wrote: “Instead of retreating from its extreme positions, Hamas builds on division within us, it draws encouragement from the pressures directed at the Israeli government.
“As a result, he only tightens his conditions for the release of our abductees. He weighs down his heart, and refuses to send our people.
“Therefore, we will land additional and painful blows on him – and it will happen soon.
“In the coming days we will increase the military and political pressure on Hamas because this is the only way to free our hostages and achieve our victory.
“The State of Israel is strong and the IDF is strong – both defensively and offensively. Our enemies cannot overcome us – we will overcome them.”
