“We cannot leave even a single Hamas battalion in Rafah” (Netanyahu)
During an exceptional Council of Ministers which took place at a military base, the Israeli Prime Minister assured that Israel was on the path to victory, and that it was within reach. IDF are very, very impressive. We are on the path to victory. It will still take some time, but it won’t take years. It’s a difficult battle, but one we are winning,” declared the head of government.
“We want to achieve the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. This will require our security in the entire area west of the Jordan River, including the Gaza Strip. We say this to the international community, to the American president and to all leaders: “We cannot leave Hamas battalions in Rafah. It’s as if the Americans had agreed to leave an enclave in the hands of ISIS.”
