Part 4/6:
A crucial point made during the address was that military pressure on Hamas is a necessary condition for the safe release of hostages. The Prime Minister stated that the objectives of hurting Hamas and retrieving hostages are not mutually exclusive; rather, they are interconnected. Previous rounds of negotiations, which led to the release of 96 hostages, were attributed to sustained military efforts against Hamas, solidifying the belief that force is essential in seeking peace.
