Terrorist organizations do not negotiate in good faith. They move the football. They will play with the emotions of Israelis. They'll torture Israelis. It's part of their terror. It's actually part of their strategy.
I think that the minister Ben-Gvir's posting was totally indefensible and irresponsible and dangerous.
Hamas knows once it released the last 10 hostages, then Israel can then go into those tunnels, flood them with water, flood them with whatever flammable substance that we can find, and that will be the end of Hamas.
If the United States gets behind this effort to stop both of these extremisms together with Israel, there are tremendous opportunities here.
