Benjamin Netanyahu says ‘only matter of time’ before Hamas chief found

Tel Aviv [Israel]: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening released a statement clarifying two points. One dealt with Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, now that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has surrounded the area in southern Gaza where he was believed to be located.

“Last night I said that our forces could go anywhere in the Gaza Strip,” said Netanyahu. “They are currently surrounding Sinwar’s house. His home is not his castle, and he can flee, but it is only a matter of time until we find him.”

In other words, Sinwar can run, but he cannot hide.

His second statement concerned getting the Red Cross to visit the Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

“To this end,” he said, “I spoke with the President of the Red Cross again today and I told her to turn to Qatar since it has been proven that they have leverage over Hamas, and demand Red Cross visits with our hostages and, of course, the provision of medicines for them.”
