A senior Israeli minister tipped as one of the favourites to become her country’s next ambassador to the UK has said she considers Hamas to be “monsters” and warned her country “will use full force” if hostages are not released.
Exclusive: Deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel, a possible future ambassador to the UK, also defended Trump’s plan for US to take over Gaza for ‘thinking outside the box’, in an interview with The Independent.
They've committed the worst crimes against humanity, coming in on 7 October, murdering babies, raping little girls, burning alive, grandparents, those are criminals, monsters, who committed crimes against humanity, and they just continue to, you know, live up their reputation, and it's very difficult for us to see it.”.
She said: ”I call on the international community to use all available measures to force Hamas to release all the hostages right now.
This came as Hamas accused Israel in terms of breaking the deal by not allowing aid through to Gaza in the amount promised and shooting at members of the group.
