Here, again, when the time comes, the IDF, according to international law, will enable‍ the ⁢civilians a safe passage outside these ⁣areas. The destruction of​ this underground is⁣ what we are going ⁢to do until the very end.”

The Israeli Prime Minister stressed the necessity of a complete⁣ and decisive victory over Hamas, highlighting the potential for future massacres⁢ and the ​threat posed by Iran’s support for terrorism. He conveyed this message to U.S. Secretary of‌ State Anthony‍ Blinken, stating, “So only by destroying ⁣Hamas will we have security for the State of Israel in the north and in the south, because Hamas would like to radiate its terror all over the​ Middle East. I said to Secretary of State Blinken we’re just a touch away, a finger away from that decisive victory.”

A Message to the Families of Hostages

Netanyahu directly addressed the families⁤ of the hostages still held by Hamas, assuring them that their loved ones are always ⁤in their⁢ hearts. He expressed empathy for their pain‌ and pledged relentless ​efforts to secure⁤ their release, ⁤emphasizing the ‌catastrophic consequences if they are not freed.

“Continuing this pressure is a condition; it’s‌ an unequivocal situation and we must achieve their release, because if we do ⁢not⁢ we are going to bring a terrible catastrophe ‌to the state of ⁢Israel if we stop,” Netanyahu stated.

The Day After Hamas

Looking ahead, Netanyahu clarified that the day after Hamas‍ is‌ the ⁢day after the complete elimination of the terrorist‌ group. He assured Secretary of State Blinken‌ that the Gaza Strip will be demilitarized permanently, with Israel and the ⁤IDF​ being the only forces capable ⁢of ensuring this outcome.

In the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, there are reports that the Biden administration is considering a shift in U.S. ‍policy, potentially recognizing a Palestinian state. However, the Palestinians have⁣ consistently rejected previous Israeli peace proposals.

Secretary of State Blinken ⁣has even attempted to draw​ a moral equivalence between Hamas’ brutal massacre of Israelis and Israel’s defensive actions, stating, “Israelis were dehumanized in the most horrific way on October 7. The hostages have been dehumanized ‍every day since. But that cannot be a license to dehumanize others.”

That ‌the Israeli government is doing everything⁣ in its power to secure their release. He acknowledged the pain and anguish these families are experiencing, stating, “We stand⁤ by your side.
