Former US President Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on January 14 that the United States believes that Hamas has recruited almost as many fighters as it has lost in the Palestinian Territory. Blinken said, “Every time Israel completes its military campaign and retreats, Hamas terrorists regroup and re-emerge because there is nothing else to fill the void.”
What did Israel say on the recruitment of Hamas fighters?
Israeli military chief Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi said that Hamas had suffered heavy losses and most of the group’s military commanders had been killed. But he said that Hamas has not been eliminated and the Israeli Defense Forces will continue fighting to further destroy Hamas. Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon acknowledged Hamas’s recruitment efforts.
Danon said, “We know that Hamas recruits youth, but even if they recruit youth, they do not have weapons or training facilities. So yes, you can incite those youth against Israel. , but they cannot become terrorists, because you cannot arm them with weapons or rockets.”
