We continue the war until the end. It will continue until the elimination of Hamas, until victory. Those who think we are going to stop are out of touch with reality”Mr. Netanyahu said in a video released by his office.
“We will not stop the fighting until we have achieved all the objectives we have set for ourselves: the elimination of Hamas, the release of our hostages and the removal of the threat from Gaza”he added.
“We are attacking Hamas with fire, hellish fire. Everywhere, including today. We also attack their supporters from near and far. All Hamas terrorists, from the first to the last, are dead men. They only have two options: surrender or die.”he said once more.
His statements come at a time when Hamas leader Ismaïl Haniyeh began discussions in Egypt on Wednesday on a cessation of fighting which would allow the release of hostages among those held by his movement in Gaza and the delivery of more humanitarian aid in the besieged territory.
Mr. Netanyahu’s comments also come once morest the backdrop of discussions at the UN on a draft resolution at the Security Council to speed up the delivery of aid to Gaza.
The vote has already been postponed twice and members are looking for the right formula to avoid a veto from the United States, Israel’s main ally. The text, which initially called for a “urgent and lasting cessation of hostilities” in Gaza, now evokes a « suspension » fights.
