Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this morning (Sunday) at the weekly Cabinet meeting that Israel is continuing with all its might to carry out the war against Hamas.
"The fighting in the Gaza Strip continues with greater intensity to achieve all its goals - the elimination of Hamas, the return of all our hostages, and the promise that Gaza will never again be a threat to Israel," Netanyahu stated.
He also delivered a message to the American government. "In the last two days, I spoke with [German] Chancellor Scholz, with French President Macron, and with other leaders, and I told them that it is impossible to support the elimination of Hamas with one hand and pressure us to end the war with the other hand. Justice is on our side."
Israel declared war on the Hamas terrorist organization which rules the Gaza Strip after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on the morning of October 7, the holiday of Simchat Torah, and murdered 1,200 people in the worst massacre against the Jewish people since the Nazi Holocaust.
240 people were abducted on October 7 and taken to Gaza as hostages. 138 people continue to be held hostage in Gaza more than two months later.
