Secretary of State Marco Rubio: You Can't Allow Hamas to Use the Ceasefire to Rebuild Itself

(U.S. State Department) U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NewsNation on Tuesday: "You're dealing with a terrorist organization in Hamas that has kidnapped, murdered, raped, savaged innocents. And so you're not dealing with a nation-state here who's operating under the laws of war or any laws for that matter....We can't have Hamas deciding what parts of the deal they're going to live up to and what parts they're not." "You can't believe anything Hamas says....Part of the challenge here is that Hamas, we know, continues to use networks to smuggle in weaponry and aid for themselves to reconstitute themselves. Israel can't allow that to happen. You can't allow them, Hamas, to use the ceasefire to sort of rebuild itself and recover strength. So it's a ceasefire but it's not a stupid ceasefire. You can't have it as an opportunity for them to rebuild themselves and come back and do the same thing all over again. Hamas exists with a very clear purpose. That is the destruction of the Jewish state."
