The event featuring the far-right Israeli minister was to be hosted by Beis Shmuel Chabad, a Crown Heights synagogue.
Waltz sagte, die Übergabe der Leichen der Bibas-Kinder ohne ihre Mutter Shiri zeige, aus was für verachtenswerten Menschen die Hamas bestehe und warum sie Gaza niemals regieren dürften.
What makes this decision particularly galling is the timing. On Tuesday, Israel officially removed all tariffs on American products.
Israel has been unable to get a deal with Hamas and has waited for the US to make the move.
Israel believes, justifiably, that meeting with Hamas is a mistake. It believes, rightfully, that Boehler’s rather sanguine reading of the situation is woefully unrealistic.
The cartoon illustrated a clear, visual link between the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews and the hostages held in captivity by Hamas since October 7.
Waltz said that Hamas's return of the Bibas children's bodies, without their mother Shiri, shows what despicable people Hamas are and why they can never be allowed to run Gaza.
President Trump also said that he wouldn't withhold any future weapons shipments to Israel.

The ambassador, and older brother to Israeli President Isaac Herzog, said that any annexation could jeopardize Israel's normalization efforts with Saudi Arabia.
