Israel gives condition for ending ongoing conflict with Hamas

Michael Freeman, Ambassador of Israel to Nigeria, has said the ongoing conflict between his nation and Hamas will end tomorrow morning if the Hamas surrender.

Freeman also promised that Israel will end all forms of attacks on Palestinian citizens.

He made this known while addressing newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.

Freeman, who is also the Permanent Representative of Israel to ECOWAS, expressed concerns over alleged killings of more than 1,000 unsuspecting civilian Israeli citizens by Hamas group, describing such as terrorism.

Freeman said, “So, Israel is going to react, we have declared war on Hamas.

“It is important to state at this point that this is not a war that is between Israel and Palestine; this is not about Israel and Palestine.

“This is about Israel and Hamas, this is about good and evil, this is about civilization and barbarism.

“Either you stand with people who are defending themselves or you stand with those who cut the heads of babies. That is what this is about, it is not about anything else.”

Freeman assured of Israel’s plan to do everything within its ambit to avoid civilian casualties in the course of the war against Hamas.

He mentioned that the Israeli move would not be about religion or Islam, Judaism or Christianity, but evil and good.

The ambassador further said that Israel did not desire war in any circumstance but would remain committed to protecting its citizens in all possible ways.

“If Hamas will surrender this will be over tomorrow morning, if terrorism will be over that is not realistic.

“I am not asking the Palestinians anything, I am saying to the Palestinians I want a better day. I am saying this with focus on Hamas. I am focused on dealing with Hamas and I am focused on stopping it,” the envoy added.
