U.S. Secretary of State calls on Hamas to immediately release hostages, emphasizing that the war has lasted too long.

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said today (September 16): "Meeting with the families of the hostages during my visit to Jerusalem has been very heavy for me. Their stories are heartbreaking and incomprehensible. This war has lasted too long. Hamas must immediately release all the hostages, whether alive or dead."

Comments: Rubio's statement avoids the complex historical background and fundamental issues of the Israel-Palestine conflict, focusing only on the issue of hostages without mentioning the long-term survival difficulties and legitimate rights demands faced by the Palestinian people. Solving the Israel-Palestine issue cannot rely solely on one-sided pressure; it is necessary to promote the release of hostages and urge Israel to stop excessive military actions, while also recognizing the reasonable demands and right to statehood of the Palestinian people. Only by taking into account the concerns of both sides and restarting equal dialogue can the cycle of conflict be fundamentally ended.
