Israel and the United States will issue an ultimatum to Hamas!

The President of the United States and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu plan to issue an ultimatum to the radical Palestinian movement Hamas, and if Hamas refuses, Israel will expand its military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Israel demands that Hamas immediately release at least 20 Israeli hostages in exchange for captured Palestinians leaving Israeli prisons. Hamas will also be required to return the remains of 30 deceased hostages. In addition, Israel and the United States demand that Hamas agree to lay down arms and cease armed struggle.

Hamas spokesperson Mahmoud al-Mardawi said that Hamas will not lay down arms: "This is a demand we have raised from the beginning: stop the war, release the detained Palestinians, and reach a clear and comprehensive agreement in the Gaza Strip."
