“We have put aside every other consideration for the citizens of Israel,” the prime minister said on the fifth day of the war with Palestinian militias in Gaza, during a joint message with Gantz and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
“We will destroy and Completely kill Hamas, the ISIS of Gaza. They will disappear from the earth, they will no longer exist, we will not accept that Israeli children and babies are murdered and everything continues as normal,” the Defense Minister said, assuring that Israeli areas around the Strip have been secured and now his troops “they are concentrating on the attack.”
For his part, Ganzt noted that “the State of Israel is facing one of its most difficult moments,” with its “families murdered and kidnapped by a ruthless enemy that must be eliminated.”
“The fact that we are here united side by side is a very clear message to the enemy, and more importantly, it is a message to all citizens of Israel,” he added.
“We are all here together, we are all mobilized,” he emphasized.
Netanyahu previously reported on the formation of an emergency government with Gantz to deal with the war with Palestinian militias in Gaza.
The agreement shows that Gantz, together with former Minister of Justice Gideon Saar; another former chief of the army general staff, Gadi Eisenkot, and two other deputies will join the government’s political and security cabinet for the duration of the war. The five are members of the center-right National Unity Party, led by Gantz.
The war management cabinet will consist of Netanyahu, Gantz and the current Defense Minister, Yoav Galant.
In addition, a place in the war management cabinet will be reserved for Yair Lapid, who together with Gantz are the two strongest members of the opposition to Netanyahu’s coalition in parliament.
Negotiations over Lapid’s inclusion have not yet been completed and local media explain that this is due to disagreements with Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners.
