Gantz: Only Israeli Forces Can Fully Disarm Hamas

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz said Monday that only Israel’s military can ultimately disarm Hamas in Gaza.

Speaking at a gathering of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem, Gantz warned that Hamas is actively rebuilding its capabilities.

“In Gaza, Hamas is reorganizing and rebuilding,” he said. “The world must understand that complete demilitarization is essential — not only for Israel’s security, but for any positive regional process.”

Gantz argued that while international initiatives may help shape Gaza’s future, Israeli soldiers will ultimately have to complete the task.

“Make no mistake — in the end, it will be our brave sons and daughters who finish the job,” he declared.

Turning to Iran, Gantz called for unified international action against the regime led by Ali Khamenei. He urged decisive measures in the coming days or weeks, warning that failure to act would endanger regional stability and future peace efforts.

Referencing American history, Gantz said the United States once liberated Europe from Nazism and now has an opportunity to reshape the Middle East by confronting Iran’s leadership.

He concluded by emphasizing urgency, stating that the time for decisive action is now.
