Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Monday that Hamas militants must surrender their arms and leave Gaza, ahead of a cabinet meeting to discuss the next phase of the truce.

Smotrich in a video statement said he “will demand a vote” by ministers to “issue a clear ultimatum to Hamas -– immediately release all hostages, leave Gaza for other countries, and lay down your arms”, all part of US President Donald Trump’s “plan” according to the minister, who added that “Israel will open the gates of hell” if the Palestinian militant group refused.
