Israel threatens to burn Gaza if Hamas does not surrender. Tel Aviv – Bahar Al Arab - Follow-ups Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a threat described by observers as "the harshest since the beginning of the war," vowing that "the gates of hell will open on the heads of Hamas killers" if the movement does not agree to hand over its weapons, release all hostages, and accept Tel Aviv's conditions for ending the war. This escalation comes amid increasing internal pressure on the Israeli government after the prolonged war and growing Western criticism due to the high human cost borne by civilians in the Gaza Strip. Strategic Secrets: The threat carries a double message: Internally, it seeks to unite the Israeli ranks in the face of divisions, and externally, it aims to disrupt any humanitarian initiatives that may alleviate the severity of the siege and keep the terms of negotiation hostage in the hands of Israel alone.
