The Zionist entity’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has admitted that their priority is not about returning the Israeli prisoners of war in Gaza.

He indicated that the most important goal of the war is to “eliminate the Gaza problem”. His statement comes as the Israeli entity’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected calls for a ceasefire deal to get the POWs back.

Netanyahu has been hindering any progress in the talks despite 18-months of genocidal aggression on Gaza in which he has failed to crush the resistance.

The settler colonial entity Israel has only committed mass murder, maiming, destruction and starvation against the Palestinians.
