Marco Rubio: Hamas must be eradicated

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has addressed the issue of establishing peace in Gaza and the future of the Palestinian Hamas movement.

During a joint press conference in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Rubio stated: “Hamas cannot continue to exist as a military or administrative force. If it retains any capacity for governance or the ability to threaten violence, peace will be impossible.”

He further emphasized that Hamas must be “eradicated.”
