Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi cast doubt on the likelihood of Hamas honoring its part of the ceasefire agreement, which stipulates the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 attack, in exchange for the release of convicted terrorists.
“Hamas will not see this deal through to the end,” Karhi told Kol Chai Radio. “The Prime Minister has clarified that we will insist on the goals of the war- defeating Hamas and bringing back all the hostages. I don’t see Hamas returning the last of the hostages, so we will return to fighting.”
Karhi also addressed US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks suggesting that the United States will take control of Gaza.
“The feeling is that the vision predicted for the end of days is being fulfilled,” he said. “Who thought that it would happen after such a devastating blow as we suffered on October 7. Within two weeks, Trump has succeeded in doing what we did not manage to do in two years, thanks to the Attorney General and the Supreme Court.”
Turning to the ongoing judicial crisis in Israel, Karhi remarked, “Most of the government ministers said that they want to fire the Attorney General. In my estimation, within the next month it will happen and her hearing will take place. The Attorney General is doing everything to make problems between us, but she will not manage.”
