EXCERPT:
SPIELMAN: “So, Wolf, we’ve said from the very beginning that Hamas absolutely has to be defeated. They can’t exist. Their entire charter, as the president of the United States said just yesterday, is dedicated to the destruction of the state of Israel and the death of all Jewish people. They, while we want to release the hostages, holding up the hostages in front of them is not going to prevent us from getting to targeting each and every one of them. We want to bring the hostages home, but it’s an operational priority that we destroy Hamas. Otherwise, the next, God forbid, massacre is going to be waiting just around the corner.”
