“Put Down Your Weapons”: Israel’s Final Ultimatum to Hamas Amid Escalating Tensions
On 8 September 2025, Israel's defence Minister Israel Catz gave Hamas a tough ultimatum, leading to more betting in the long -standing struggle. Through a strict post on X, Catz demanded immediate release of all hostages and complete disarmament of this militant organization. He warned that if not complied, Gaza will be completely destroyed and Hamas will be eliminated. His words took a terrible picture: "A powerful storm will come on the sky of Gaza City and will blow the roofs of the towers of terror."
This ultimatum has come amid growing violence and deepening humanitarian crisis. International players, including the US, are intensifying their appeals to the ceasefire, while the number of deaths of common citizens is continuously increasing. The strong attitude of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is increasing the urgency of the conversation. Reports have confirmed that Israel's military operations have already intensified, which shows the possibility of mass action.
This situation raises a serious question: is diplomacy still possible, or is war left only? Amidst the presence of hostages, stagnation in peaceful conversation and increasing deaths on both sides, the region stands at an intersection. Can any success be achieved, or will Gaza move towards more destruction? As the world is keeping an eye on it, the decisions made in this moment will decide whether the struggle changes in destruction or a ray of peace still remains.
