Netanyahu’s apology due to the failure of October 7
reported by Benjamin Netanyahu added in a conversation with the British “Time” magazine: “We are facing not only Hamas, but also the united axis of Iran, and we must organize ourselves for defense on a larger scale.” Our goal in Gaza is to achieve a decisive victory over Hamas so that at the end of the battle, it can no longer be a threat to Israel.
He continued: The expansion of the Gaza war into a regional conflict is a risk that I recognize, but I am ready to accept its consequences. Our goal is to completely destroy the capabilities of Hamas and the biggest and most important goal is to restore the deterrence principle of Israel.
Netanyahu further claimed: I would like to see the civilian administration of the Gaza Strip by its residents and perhaps with the support of regional partners. After Hamas leaves power, I would like to invite the Arab countries to help establish a political entity in the Gaza Strip that does not threaten Israel.
