Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, Hamas Commander Mahmoud al-Zahar has delivered a disturbing message, expressing his group’s aspirations for global dominance. In a video that has gone viral, al-Zahar declares that Israel is just the beginning and that they aim to extend their influence to the entire world. This warning comes as Israel has declared war against Hamas following a devastating attack over the weekend that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israelis.
In the video, al-Zahar asserts, “Israel is only the first target. The entire planet will be under our law.” He goes on to describe their vision of a world free from injustice, oppression, and violence, particularly against Palestinians and Arabs in various countries.
Following the release of the video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed his commitment to continue the fight against Hamas, referring to every member of the group as “a dead man.” Netanyahu compared Hamas to the Islamic State group, stating that they would be crushed and destroyed, just as the world has destroyed ISIS.
Meanwhile, Hamas operatives holding Israeli soldiers and civilians hostage have threatened to execute a captive in retaliation for each residential building in Gaza targeted by Israeli airstrikes. However, there has been no evidence to suggest that Hamas has carried out this threat.
In response to the escalating violence, Israel has formed an emergency unity government with Netanyahu and former defense minister Benny Gantz sitting in a war cabinet. The Israeli military continues to bombard Gaza in an effort to eradicate Hamas, potentially leading to a ground offensive.
Netanyahu, referring to Hamas as worse than ISIS, listed several atrocities committed by the group, including the burning of people alive. He emphasized that every Israeli family is affected by these attacks and rallied for unity in the fight to protect their homeland. Netanyahu expressed gratitude for the unprecedented support that Israel has received from world leaders.
Netanyahu underscored that Israel is on the offensive and declared that every member of Hamas is a dead man. He concluded by stating that all of Israel stands behind its soldiers and that they will ultimately prevail.
Gantz echoed Netanyahu’s sentiment, emphasizing the need for unity and describing the partnership between himself and Netanyahu as a matter of fate rather than politics. He declared that all of Israel is mobilized for the fight and highlighted the Israeli people’s desire for a united government in times of crisis.
The conflict has taken a severe toll on the Gaza Strip, where most of the 2.3 million people are experiencing a lack of electricity and water. Trapped between Israeli airstrikes and a blocked border with Egypt, the people of Gaza are desperate and have nowhere to escape.
