Hamas Is Holding Gaza Hostage

(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Israel's Housing Minister and member of the Security Cabinet Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant told the Jerusalem Post: "We, on one hand, need to make sure that Hamas doesn't get stronger and, on the other hand, we must make sure the people of Gaza get proper humanitarian aid." He noted that "the border protests led to only Palestinians deaths." Gallant stressed that Israel is not responsible for the situation in Gaza. "We didn't choose Hamas. The people of Gaza chose Hamas and it is Hamas holding them hostage, not us. We left Gaza 13 years ago. Have they built one school? No. They built tunnels and rockets and continued increasing their terror activities. Gaza is being held hostage by a terror group. There's no freedom. There's nothing different than North Korea. It's the same thing."
