PM Netanyahu:
While the situation in Gaza is difficult and Israel has been working to ensure aid delivery, Hamas benefits from attempting to fuel the perception of a humanitarian crisis.
As such, they have been releasing unverified numbers to the news media while circulating images that are carefully staged or manipulated by Hamas.
We are fighting a just war, a moral war, a war for our survival. No country in the world would allow the continued rule in neighboring territory of a terror group bent on its destruction that already stormed across its borders in a genocidal attack, as Hamas did on Oct 7 when it butchered over 1,200 innocent people, burning babies alive and slaughtering teenagers at a music festival. Hamas boasts they will repeat the Oct 7 massacre over and over.
We’ll continue to act responsibly, as we always have, and we’ll continue to seek the return of our hostages and the defeat of Hamas. That is the only way to secure peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
