The ruthless Hamas militants are not only murdering hostages, but they are also inflicting further anguish on their families by sharing videos of the victims before their deaths.
This terror group has declared that more such acts are to follow.
Israel recently entered Rafah and successfully retrieved the bodies of multiple hostages.
This action came after criticism from the Democrats for Israel’s plans to conduct strikes in the area. However, it has become apparent that Israel’s focus on this region was justified, and the Democrats were mistaken in urging the Biden administration to withhold armaments.
Biden’s handling of the situation has been deemed inept, as he has called on Benjamin Netanyahu to do more to reach an agreement with Hamas.
However, insisting that Israel negotiate with Hamas only serves to incentivize Hamas for its actions, as correctly pointed out by Netanyahu. The terrorist organization, which holds power in Gaza, will continue to engage in further appalling actions.
Hamas on Monday taunted kin of the six hostages found slain in Gaza by releasing haunting pre-recorded footage of the victims — and warning the gut-wrenching clips were only a teaser to their “last messages.”
One of the gaunt and exhausted-looking hostages, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, said in the eerie propaganda video that she feared she’d never escape alive.
“Bombing here never stops, and we are afraid for our lives. We are scared of dying here,’’ Yerushalmi said, according to the Jerusalem Post.
She and the other five hostages — US-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lobanov, 32, Carmel Gat, 40, and Almog Sarusi, 27 — were found dead in a tunnel in Rafah on Saturday.
The terror group that initiated the conflict by invading Israel on October 7, 2023, and committing a horrific act of terrorism that resulted in the deaths of over a thousand Israelis, should not be given any concessions.
It is disappointing that the Biden administration has not taken action to support Israel, especially considering the strong historical relationship between the United States and the Jewish state.
Israel has long faced threats from multiple hostile groups, including Hamas, which is backed by Iran along with other terrorist organizations seeking to eliminate Israel.
Iran, a powerful adversary of Israel, is providing funding to multiple terrorist groups with the goal of undermining Israel.
The lifting of sanctions by the Biden administration has enabled Iran to generate substantial revenue through oil sales and other financial transactions, directly contributing to its support for these hostile groups.
There are concerns that some members of the Biden administration do not support the existence of Israel and wrongly label it as an apartheid state, despite evidence suggesting otherwise in Gaza.
Pressure from a vocal segment of the Democratic base has influenced the administration’s decision to reduce its support for Israel. This shift appears to be driven by political calculations rather than a genuine assessment of the situation.
