We’re hearing from another Trump administration Cabinet official, after we brought you updates on Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks earlier. If Hamas doesn’t follow through with the terms of a ceasefire deal, “Israel can finish the job,” US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on FOX News’ “The Sunday Briefing.” “Israel can go in there and make sure Hamas is obliterated,” Hegseth said.
“If Hamas can live up to it, step up to the moment, then it looks like we’re on the precipice of something real, really different in the Middle East, which creates a whole different set of possibilities,” the defense secretary added. “So we’re proud to be a part of supporting and defending Israel.”
