He Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu He said this Monday that Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas V Gaza Strip and that he will continue with his plans to destroy the Islamist group.
Moreover, he argued that in all wars there are unintended civilian casualties and that Israel’s attack on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip was a battle between “civilization and barbarism.”
Speaking to the foreign press, Netanyahu said: “Just like USA would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing Pearl Harbor, or after the terrorist attack of September 11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas following the horrific attacks of October 7 in which more than 1,400 people were killed and 239 abducted.
“Israel is being asked to surrender to Hamas, terrorism and barbarism, but this will not happen,” the Israeli Prime Minister stressed.
In his speech to questions from the press, Netanyahu stated that “The Bible says there is a time for peace and a time for war, and this is a time of war; war for a common future.”
“Today we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. The time has come for everyone to decide what position they take, and it is time for civilized countries around the world to support this fight. Because Israel’s battle is your battle. This is why Israel’s victory will be your victory. But make no mistake: no matter who supports Israel, Israel will fight until it wins this battle, and Israel will win,” the Israeli Prime Minister said emphatically.
Regarding the question of hostages that Hamas is holding the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu said that “every civilized nation must support Israel and demand the immediate and unconditional release of these hostages.”
“Hamas also completely and vilely does not allow foreign citizens to leave the Gaza Strip; “Hamas is holding over 200 Israeli hostages, including 33 children, holding them, terrorizing them, holding them hostage,” he said.
“Every civilized nation must stand with Israel and demand the immediate and unconditional release of these hostages,” the Israeli Prime Minister said.
Netanyahu again insisted that Israel had called on Palestinian civilians to leave areas of fighting – particularly northern Gaza and Gaza City – and move south, but, he said, “Hamas “is preventing this at gunpoint.” .
“We are going to consign Hamas to the dustbin of history; “This is my goal and my responsibility, and I believe it unites the whole country,” Netanyahu said when asked about the loss of support he feels in Israeli public opinion.
“We all support the soldiers and support our commanders,” the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized.
Since the start of the war on the 7th, Israeli bombing of Gaza has resulted in more than 5,300 deaths and more than 21,000 injuries, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
In this sense, Netanyahu insisted that the Israeli army wants to minimize the number of civilian casualties in the sector, but at the same time he stressed that it cannot and should not give up the fight.
“We must do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties, but we cannot give up the fight because then, I think, it will have catastrophic consequences not only for the future of my country, but also for the future of your countries, since this “a battle” of civilization against barbarians,” Netanyahu responded to a journalist who asked him about the casualties among the population. Ghazati.
In turn, Defense Minister Netanyahu Yoav Gallant, This was stated at a press conference held in Tel Aviv what in West Bank just busy Army and Israeli police have the right to use force.
In turn, the Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer stated that Israel’s coordination with the United States in the fight against Hamas was “unprecedented in history” and that its relations with Russia were difficult.
