Israel Didn’t Initiate This Conflict but Will See It Through Netanyahu:
In a strong warning to Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday that while Israel did not initiate this conflict, it is determined to see it through.
As part of its response to Hamas, Israel has deployed 300,000 troops, marking the largest mobilization since the 1973 Yom Kippur War when 400,000 reservists were called up, as reported by Times of Israel.
Netanyahu addressed the nation, emphasizing, “Israel is at war. We didn’t seek this war; it was thrust upon us in a brutal and savage manner. However, despite not initiating this conflict, Israel will bring it to a conclusion.”
The surprise Hamas attack on Saturday morning has resulted in over 2,300 Israelis sustaining injuries and more than 700 deaths. Leader condemned Hamas and declared that they would pay a substantial price for their actions.
“Hamas will realize that by attacking us, they have made a historic mistake. We will exact a price that will be etched in their memory and in the memory of Israel’s other adversaries for many years to come,” Netanyahu asserted.
He also highlighted the plight of those taken hostage, describing the brutal attacks carried out by Hamas as heinous and savage. He urged the international community to unite against Hamas, equating it to ISIS.
“Hamas is equivalent to ISIS. Just as the forces of civilization united to defeat ISIS, the world’s civilized nations must support Israel in defeating Hamas,” Netanyahu stressed.
He expressed gratitude to U.S. President Joe Biden and other world leaders for their support, emphasizing the commitment of the United States to Israel’s security.
Netanyahu concluded his speech by stating, “In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only defending its own people but also fighting for every nation that opposes barbarism. Israel will emerge victorious in this conflict, and when it does, the entire civilized world will triumph.”
The Israeli military, under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has pledged to take aggressive action against Hamas, unlike any seen before.
Hamas has threatened to execute civilian hostages without warning and broadcast the killings if Israel targets individuals in Gaza. The group claims to be holding more than 100 hostages, including Israeli army officers, as reported by Media.
