Netanyahu: We are determined to continue the war until Hamas is eliminated

According to Fars International News Agency, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Thursday that Israel is determined to continue the war against Hamas until it achieves “complete victory”.

“Jake Sullivan” traveled to occupied Palestine today to meet with Netanyahu’s war cabinet. The Axios website reported that he met with Israeli officials and called for the war to move to a “milder phase” within the next few weeks. (more details).

At the same time, Yoav Galant, Israel’s Minister of War, in a statement that seemed to be made in response to America’s request, while pointing out the difficulty of the war with Hamas, said that this war will last several months. It will take time (more details).

Netanyahu said in a video message after the meeting with the American official: “I told my American friends: our heroic soldiers did not lose their lives in vain.”

He added: “Because of the deep pain of their death, we are more determined than ever to continue the struggle until Hamas is eliminated, until complete victory.”

The Israeli regime has declared the goal of its operations in Gaza to destroy Hamas, but many Western and European personalities have stated in the past days that Hamas is an ideology and it is not possible to destroy it.

For example, Josep Borrell, the European Union’s foreign policy official, recently said at a meeting in Barcelona that Hamas is an ideology and it cannot be destroyed.

Netanyahu In another part of his speech in that video message, he said that the return of the hostages is one of Israel’s key goals. He said: “We have not forgotten that goal, not even for a moment and at this moment.” Information about the October 7 attack and, on the other hand, the inability to return prisoners from Gaza have been the subject of strong criticism.

“Mariva Zanzin”, one of the analysts of “International Crisis Group”, said about 10 days ago that the families of the Gazan prisoners that the Israeli army will carry out military operations in Gaza before completing the prisoner exchange process with Hamas. They are “extremely angry” again. (more details).

Despite this, it seems that Netanyahu’s position in power is still strong due to the continuation of the war, but it is guaranteed. There is no post-war situation for this.

Mariva Zanzin said a few days ago: “If Israel is not able to achieve achievements in this operation, I think the patience of the Israelis will be lost, while already hundreds of army reserve forces They have been called to serve, and the economy is also suffering.”

The Israeli Ministry of Finance has estimated the initial costs of the Gaza war at 191 shekels ($51 billion) in the latest assessment. Finance Ministry officials have said that this number may increase depending on developments in the field.

American media reported that Netanyahu thanked the United States for using its veto to prevent a ceasefire in Gaza. Is.
