Ex-hostage Agam Berger says diplomacy won't work when confronting Hamas – Israel news

Former hostage Agam Berger met with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Saturday, where she stated that diplomatic solutions won't work when confronting Hamas, Israeli media reported. 

"If it were possible not to choose war, we wouldn't choose it. But the moment there is a war for the survival of our land, that's what we will do," she said.

"They [Hamas] don't want 'togetherness.' All the diplomatic solutions – I don't know what to call it – it won't work because it's either us or them."

"All the hostages must be released. Now. Hamas must disarm and not be included in the political future of Gaza," Barrot said.
