Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday paid a visit to Gaza where he vowed to bring back all hostages and announced a monetary reward of $ 5 million for returning each hostage. "To those who want to leave this entanglement I say: Whoever brings us a hostage, will find a safe way out for himself and his family. We will also give $5 million for every hostage.
Choose, the choice is yours but the result will be the same. We will bring them all back," he said He warned Hamas that if it "dares to harm our hostages," it would have to "pay the price." He added that Hamas would not be able to "rule Gaza.
" "I am here on the Gaza coast with the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief-of-Staff, the ISA Director and our heroic commanders and soldiers, who are doing amazing work here. Here in the center of the Strip and throughout the Strip, they have achieved excellent results toward our important objective – Hamas will not rule in Gaza. We are eliminating its military capabilities in very impressive fashion.
We are moving on to its governing abilities, and we are not yet done. Hamas will not be in Gaza," he said. "I want to say to those who are holding our hostages: Whoever dares to harm our hostages – will pay the price.
We will pursue you and we will find you," he added. He was joined by his Chief-of-Staff, Tzachi Braverman, military secretary Major-General Roman Gofman, deputy director of the National Security Council Gil Reich, and spokesperson Omer Dostri..
