US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio He said on Saturday that the Hamas Palestinian militant movement will be “destroyed” unless it will release all the remaining Israeli hostages detained in the Gaza Strip. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
“The treatment of Hamas with hostages, including the brutal murder of the Bibasov family, even more illustrates its cruelty and is another reason why we say that these terrorists must immediately release all hostages or be destroyed,” wrote Rubio on the network X.
Chief of American diplomacy He condemned the death of members of an Israeli family that the group detained in the attack on Israel from October 7, 2023, after which the war broke out in the Gaza Strip. Hamas handed over four bodies to Israel on Thursday. According to the radical movement, it was also the remains of Širi Bibasová and her two little sons – Kfira and Ariela. The Israeli army, however, announced on Friday night that neither of the handed over bodies would belong to Širi Bibas.
Hamas subsequently said that the remains of the deceased Israeli hostage were probably confused with the body of another victim in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Kibbuc on Saturday confirmed the death of Bibas after what The International Red Cross Committee informed that it had brought other physical remains to the Israeli authorities without publishing their identity.
The radical movement claims that the hostages mentioned during the Israeli shelling at the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip and their death were accused by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But Israel said the boys were killed “cold -blooded and bare hands”. Kfir was barely nine months at the time of kidnapping and was hostage kidnapped. His brother Ariel was four years old.
