Israel Aims to Eliminate Leadership of Palestinian Hamas Radical Movement, Says John Kirby

Israel is determined to eliminate the leadership of the Palestinian Hamas radical movement, and the United States considers this approach a useful strategy. This was stated by John Kirby, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House National Security Council, in an interview with NBC.

He noted that dismantling the leadership would have a devastating impact on Hamas's operational capabilities. “And that is what Israel is focused on. We believe it is a useful strategy,” Kirby stated.
