As conflicts between Israel and Hamas continue to escalate on their 43rd day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference.
Netanyahu said, “Israel has eliminated thousands of terrorists,” and indicated that they are advancing with all their might.
“They pushed for a complete halt.”
The Israeli Prime Minister stressed that there is increasing pressure on Israel from the United States and other countries as the war continues, and said: “They also pressured us for a complete ceasefire. We refused. “I made it clear that we can only accept a temporary ceasefire for the return of the Israeli hostages,” he said.
Netanyahu continued: “I oppose pressure, and I say this publicly to the world. We will continue fighting until victory.” Until we destroy Hamas. “Until we return our hostages home,” he said.
“Biden sends the necessary ammunition”
Noting that he greatly values US support for Israel, Netanyahu said: “Biden sees the same common interests as us. He added: “We continue to send the necessary ammunition.”
Netanyahu said that he makes statements to the American press every day to make sure that the American people are sure of the correctness of the path that Israel is following, and added that he appreciates the pro-Israel work that was done in Washington.
