Netanyahu: ‘We retain full freedom of military action’ against Hezbollah, with US okay
Prime minister gives three key reasons for wanting ceasefire now: To focus on the Iranian threat, rest and reequip soldiers, and isolate Hamas
We will complete the task of obliterating Hamas, we will bring home all of our hostages, we will ensure that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel and we will return the residents of the north back home safely.
The war will not end until we realize all its goals, including the return of the residents of the north safely home. And I tell you, it will happen, just like it happened in the south.
These achievements are a source of awe and admiration across the globe, and they are projecting Israel’s might throughout the Middle East:
First, the head of the octopus – Iran. We destroyed major parts of Iran’s air defense system and missile-manufacturing capabilities, and we demolished a significant component of their nuclear program.
I am determined to do anything needed to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. That threat has always been my top priority and is even more so today, when you hear Iran’s leaders state over and over again their intention to obtain nuclear weapons. For me, removing that threat is the most important mission to ensure the existence and future of the State of Israel.
