Israeli President Isaac Herzog said capturing or killing Hamas’s Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar is the determining factor in releasing hostages held by the terror group in Gaza, Ednews informs via The Times of Israel.
“At the end of the day, there’s no choice, we have to keep fighting, we need to bring Sinwar dead or alive so we can see the hostages brought home,” Herzog says at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Mobileye campus in Jerusalem.
The comments come as Israel appears to abandon indirect talks with Hamas aimed at freeing the hostages after the terror group rejected a US compromise for a six-week truce.
