U.S.: As Long as Hamas Exists, There Will Not Be Peace
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News on Wednesday: "The President has said that it's up to Israel to decide what they need to do for their own security....There are three problems going on there, and they're all interrelated. The first is there is a humanitarian problem that needs to be addressed. We're working very hard to figure out ways to address it in ways that don't benefit Hamas but that allows people to be fed and prevents a further humanitarian problem there that we're seeing now." "The second is that there are 20 innocent human beings that are being held hostage in horrifying conditions. And the third is that as long as Hamas exists, there will not be peace. There cannot be a permanent peace. It'll restart again if Hamas remains....Not enough attention is being paid to the fact that 20 people that had nothing to do with this are being held hostage in tunnels on the verge of death, and [there is] no real talk about how Hamas needs to be disarmed and disbanded. We have to focus more on those two things."
