Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel will no longer consider allowing the creation of a Palestinian state due to security risks and the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
He emphasized the need for Israel to control the entire area and stated that the war against Hamas will continue until the group is destroyed.
Netanyahu highlighted the necessity of achieving total victory, including the elimination of Hamas leaders, disarming Gaza, and Israeli control over what enters the Gaza Strip.
“For 30 years, I am very consistent and I’m saying something very simple, this conflict is not on the lack of a state of Palestine, but the existence of a state, the Jewish State,” Netanyahu said.
“In the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea,” he said. “This truth I say to our American friends, and I also stopped the attempt to impose on us a reality that will jeopardize us.”
“A prime minister in Israel has to be able to say ‘no’ even to the best of friends, to say ‘no’ when you need to and to say ‘yes’ when you can,” he added.
“Contrary to what they say, the war continues on all fronts, and the war will continue on all fronts until we reach all of our goals — we will destroy the evil of Hamas. In the past 48 hours, our troops have been fighting fierce battles in Gaza and have eliminated hundreds of terrorists. We destroyed a giant facility for manufacturing rockets, and it’s not the only one. The war continues on all fronts and will continue until we reach all of our goals.”
“Victory will take additional long months, but we are bent on obtaining it. We strive for a total victory,” he asserted. “While our soldiers are sacrificing their lives to complete the victory against Hamas, I hear that there are those in the news studios who claim that it is impossible to win and others who are trying to weaken them. I reject this outright, Israel under my leadership will not allow anything less than victory over Hamas.”
He pledged to continue the war until total victory is achieved and the hostages are returned.
“Stopping the war before reaching its goals will harm Israeli security for generations. Total victory requires the elimination of Hamas’s leaders, the annihilation of Hamas, the return of the hostages, the disarming of Gaza, and Israeli control over everything that enters the Gaza Strip – those are our basic conditions for the day after. I wish to emphasize: the day after is the day after the elimination of Hamas, and it will be achieved when we stay unified,” he said.
“I pledge, for the sake of our troops, the bereaved families, and the families of the hostages, we will not stop and we will not finish the war before total victory and the return of our loved ones,” he added.
