Far-right Israeli Settlements and National Missions Minister Orit Strook says ahead of the meeting of the security cabinet that she will quit her job if the offensive stops, Al Jazeera reports.

A member of the Religious Zionism party, Strook said such a scenario would mean “Israel gives up on subduing and destroying Hamas, and we will crash into a major disaster”, according to public broadcaster Kan.

“We will not be in the government if that happens. The terrible mistake we made will have terrible consequences in people’s lives, because of the strengthening of Hamas,” Strook said.
