Yoav Gallant: Our Battle Against Hamas is a Struggle for the Entire Free World

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant took to Twitter to emphasize the gravity of the ongoing fight against Hamas, comparing the conflict to the 9/11 attacks in the United States. In his tweet, Gallant shared a powerful image found in a tunnel where the Sinwar brothers, key leaders of Hamas, were reportedly hiding.

Gallant’s message, stating “A picture is worth a thousand words. This picture was found in a tunnel where the Sinwar brothers were hiding like rats,” highlights the covert nature of Hamas’s operations. The comparison of the Sinwar brothers to rats reflects the deep disdain Israeli officials have for Hamas, accusing the group of using deceitful tactics in their campaign against Israel.

The Israeli Defense Minister went on to link the fight against Hamas to the broader global battle against terrorism, particularly evoking the memory of the 9/11 attacks. “On 9/11 we remember the horrific attack on our closest ally, the U.S. And we remember that our fight against terrorism, against Hamas, is the fight of the free world,” Gallant wrote.

This comparison highlights Israel’s view that its struggle against Hamas is not just a regional conflict but part of a larger global effort to combat terrorism.
