Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday committed to intensifying actions against Hamas in the near future, aiming to “finish” the battle with the Iran-supported terrorist organization.

Netanyahu made the remarks about the war in Gaza while visiting with Israel Defense Forces reservists.

“In the upcoming days, we will proceed with full strength to finish the mission,” Netanyahu declared. “Finishing the mission signifies defeating Hamas. It means dismantling Hamas.”

Netanyahu emphasized that eradicating Hamas and liberating the hostages seized by the group in their deadly assault on Oct. 7, 2023, are objectives that are closely linked.

U.S. Special Envoy Adam Boehler and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff met with the families of hostages for nearly two hours in Tel Aviv on Tuesday before traveling to Doha, Qatar, to join talks on a possible ceasefire in Gaza.

Boehler said that following Alexander’s release, there is a better chance of securing the release of the remaining hostages.

Boehler and Witkoff told families that if they did not believe there was a genuine chance for progress in negotiations, they would not be making the trip to Doha.

As the war in Gaza drags on, President Donald Trump kicked off a four-day Middle East trip on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, where he and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were expected to hold talks on ending the war in Gaza and more.
