Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich Opposes Gaza Hostage Deal, Citing National Security Risks
Jan 13, 2025, 09:28 AM
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has strongly criticized an emerging hostage deal related to the Gaza conflict, describing it as a 'catastrophe for the national security of the State of Israel.' Smotrich, a key figure in the ruling coalition, has stated that he will not support any agreement that halts the war, releases terrorists, and leads to the cessation of hostilities. He advocates for a more aggressive approach, suggesting that Israel should continue with full force to occupy the entire Gaza Strip, control humanitarian aid, and push for the complete surrender of Hamas. This stance has led to confrontations with families of hostages, who have expressed their opposition to Smotrich's position during a Knesset Finance Committee meeting.
