Netanyahu Praises US for Capturing Maduro, Claims Trump Set Hamas Disarmament as Key Ceasefire Condition
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the United States for its operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, calling it a bold move for freedom. Netanyahu congratulated US President Donald Trump for what he described as decisive leadership in advancing justice. He further claimed that Israel fully supports the US action and emphasized his cabinet’s backing of the measures taken to restore freedom in the region.
During a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu also alleged that President Trump had set Hamas’ disarmament as a fundamental condition for implementing the second phase of the ceasefire, which consists of 20 clauses. The Israeli leader insisted that Trump had made no concessions in this regard.
These claims come as Hamas has repeatedly stated through mediators that it will only hand over its weapons to Palestinian factions and a technocratic government—and only after a complete withdrawal of occupying forces from Palestinian territories.
