UPDATES: [Israel Vs Hamas] Prime Minister Netanyahu Addresses Critical Matters

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has restated their determination to annihilate Hamas in the ongoing retribution against the group.

Netanyahu made this known at the Knesset when addressing the current situation in the city:

He hinted at points concerning their strategies and future engagement with Hamas and its allies while expressing optimism that victory is sure.

His words:
“We have an argument that I put on the table, and everyone knows it, even Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, said it yesterday. We have an argument with the Americans about the need to enter Rafah. Not about the need to eliminate Hamas, but the need to enter Rafah. We see no way to eliminate Hamas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions. We are determined to do it.

“Out of respect for the president, we agreed on a way in which they could present their ideas to us, especially on the humanitarian side, which we of course share in this desire to allow an orderly exit of the population and provide aid to the civilian population. We have been doing this since the beginning of the war.

“But I made it clear to the president in our conversation, in the clearest way, that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah. And there is no way to do it, except for the ground entrance.”
