She told ILTV that Israel “has to do everything possible to ensure we bring back all the hostages.”
“That’s what we should do because that’s how we really win,” Hassan-Nahoum said.
At the same time, she emphasized that Israel must reserve the right to resume military operations and finish the job, even if it takes a year or more.
“It may not happen overnight, but there needs to be an alternative leadership infrastructure in place in Gaza,” the envoy said.
