Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at a press conference on Monday. The Prime Minister categorically ruled out the possibility of a ceasefire in the fight against Hamas.
When asked about a possible cessation of fighting, the politician said there would be no ceasefire in the war against Hamas because it would mean a “surrender” to Hamas.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel’s current goal is the destruction of Hamas. He added that all wars cause unintended casualties among the civilian population, and that the Israeli attack targets Hamas and is a battle between “civilization and barbarism.”
“The Bible says there is a time of peace and a time of war. This is a time of war,” said the head of the Israeli government. Netanyahu added that he prays that all civilized countries will support Israel’s struggle.
Land invasion
The Israeli ground operation in the northern part of the Gaza Strip has been underway since Friday. The American news agency Reuters reported on Monday about the attack by Israeli infantry on Gaza with the support of tanks and air force. The city would be attacked from the east and west.
Earlier, Hamas’s armed wing reported clashes with the Israeli army near the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip. Israeli forces, in turn, reported that the clashes took place in the Zikim area.
Netanyahu: It will take time to destroy Hamas
On October 7, fighters from the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas carried out a massive attack on Israeli territory. Militants invaded border settlements, killing more than 1,300 civilians and taking about 200 hostages.
After the Hamas attacks, the head of government in Tel Aviv said that it “will take time” to destroy Hamas, but that Israel will ultimately emerge victorious and stronger from this conflict. – I will not give details of what will happen next, but I tell you – this is just the beginning – he emphasized. – We will strike with unprecedented force – he announced during his address to the nation.
In response to the attack, Israel launched an unprecedented bombardment of the militant-controlled Gaza Strip, causing a humanitarian catastrophe for civilians. The Palestinian death toll rose to more than 7,700 on Saturday, according to the Gaza Strip Ministry of Health. Parts of the Gaza Strip have been destroyed. More than 1.4 million people fled their homes, with almost half taking refuge in schools and UN shelters.
