Israel Presses Hamas to Surrender Amid Intensified Gaza Strikes

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has renewed calls for Hamas to surrender, saying the war could end immediately if the group released all remaining hostages and laid down its arms. Speaking in Jerusalem alongside Denmark’s foreign minister, Saar stressed that Israel would prefer to achieve this goal through political means, but warned that military operations would continue until the threat to Israeli civilians was removed.

The appeal comes as Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza City, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering. Over the weekend, airstrikes destroyed two high-rise buildings and hit a school housing displaced families, killing at least 14 people, according to local health officials. The military claimed the targeted sites were being used by Hamas, an allegation the group denies.

Hamas reiterated its long-standing position that it would release all hostages if Israel agreed to end the war and withdraw its forces from Gaza, but rejected disarmament. Meanwhile, humanitarian concerns are mounting, with aid agencies warning of severe shortages of food and shelter for civilians trapped in the conflict zone.
