Mark Regev, who used to represent Israel in the UK, says that there can’t be peace with Hamas.
Regev told the media that it is not possible to make peace with Hamas because they have said so themselves. This happened on the News hour programme on Monday evening.
He was probably talking about a statement made earlier this month by Taher El-Nounou, a media advisor for the group Hamas. He told the New York Times that Hamas wants the war with Israel to continue on all the borders and never stop.
“We need to discuss a future without Hamas,” Regev said.
When someone asked if Israel will help rebuild the Gaza Strip, which was badly damaged by Israel’s bombing, Regev said his country’s money is being used to rebuild towns in southern Israel instead.
He said he thinks a lot of other countries will help pay for Gaza to be rebuilt.
We didn’t start or want this war, as you know. “Hamas is to blame for starting the fighting,” he said.
