Rais mteule wa Marekani, Donald Trump, amemteua Pete Hegseth kama waziri wa ulinzi, uteuzi ambao umekumbwa na utata.
Katika kikao cha kuthibitishwa mbele ya Seneti ya Marekani, Hegseth alisisitiza kuwa anaunga mkono hatua ya Israel kuangamiza wanachama wote wa kundi la Hamas.
Hata hivyo, malengo ya sasa ya vita vya Israel hayajumuishi kuangamiza kila mwanachama wa Hamas, kwani viongozi wa Israeli, wakiwemo maafisa wa ngazi ya juu, wamesema kufanya hivyo kutaifanya Israel kuingia katika mzozo usioisha huko Gaza.
Aidha, Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje wa Marekani, Antony Blinken, alibainisha kuwa Hamas imeendelea kusajili wapiganaji wapya kufidia wale waliopoteza.

US President-elect Donald Trump’s contentious nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, was grilled Tuesday by lawmakers about past controversies he has been embroiled in, while expessing support for Israel killing all remaining members of Palestinian terror group Hamas in the war in Gaza.
Speaking at his confirmation hearing before the US Senate’s Armed Services Committee, Hegseth said: “I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas.”
Notably, Israel’s current war aims do not extend to killing every last member of Hamas, and Israeli officials have told The Times of Israel that even Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged as much. Doing so would have Israel bogged down in Gaza indefinitely, given that the terror group is constantly recruiting new fighters.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that Hamas has recruited as many fighters as it has lost during the war.
“I’m a Christian and I robustly support the State of Israel and its existential defense,” Hegseth told the Congressional committee.
Like members of many previous administrations, Hegseth said his top priority would be shifting the US military priorities away from the Middle East and toward China.
