The Israeli leader insisted that, despite the growing international pressure and condemnation of genocide, Israel must finish the job against Hamas in Gaza. Western leaders may have buckled under the pressure, he said. And I guarantee you one thing: Israel won't."
"Netanyahu's speech was also broadcast into Gaza via loudspeakers mounted on Israel's border with the territory, a fact he acknowledged in his speech, issuing a message directly to the Israeli captives held by Hamas in the territory. We have not forgotten you, not even for a second, he said. The people of Israel are with you. We will not falter, and we will not rest until we bring all of you home."
