Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu refused this Monday to consider any possibility of a ceasefire in the war that Israel has waged since the 7th against the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, arguing that the United States would not do so either.

Speaking to the foreign press, Netanyahu said: “Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of September 11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas following the horrific terrorist attacks of October 7, which killed more than 1,400 people and abducted 239.

“You will calls on Israel to surrender to Hamasin the face of terrorism and capitulation to barbarism, but this will not happen,” the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized.

In his speech to press questions, Netanyahu said that “the Bible says there is a time for peace and a time for war, and this is a time for war; war for a common future.”

“Today we are drawing a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. The time has come for everyone to decide what position he takes, and it is time for the civilized countries of the whole world to support this fight. Because Israel’s battle is your battle. That is why Israel’s victory will be your victory. But Make no mistake: no matter who supports Israel, Israel will fight until it wins this battle, and Israel will win.”- the Prime Minister of Israel said decisively.

Regarding the issue of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, Netanyahu said that “Every civilized nation must support Israel and demand the immediate and unconditional release of these hostages.”

“Hamas is also completely and basely preventing foreign citizens from leaving the Gaza Strip; Hamas is holding over 200 Israeli hostages, including 33 children, holding them, terrorizing them, holding them hostage,” he alleged.

“Every civilized nation must support Israel and demand the immediate and unconditional release of these hostages.” The Israeli Prime Minister said this.

Netanyahu reiterated that Israel called on Palestinians to leave these areas where there is fighting – particularly in northern Gaza and Gaza City – and move south, but, he said, “Hamas is preventing this at gunpoint.”

“We are going to send Hamas to the dustbin of history; This is my goal and my responsibility, and I believe that this unites the whole country.” Netanyahu said this in response to a question about the loss of support he experiences in Israeli public opinion.

“We all support the soldiers and support our commanders,” the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized.

Since the start of the war on the 7th, Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip has resulted in more than 5,300 deaths and more than 21,000 injuries, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

In this sense, Netanyahu insisted that the Israeli army wants to minimize the number of civilian casualties in the sector, but at the same time he stressed that it cannot and should not give up the fight.

“We must do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties, but we cannot give up the fight because then I believe that this will have disastrous consequences not only for the future of my country, but also for the future of your countries.” because this is a battle of civilization against barbarians.”Netanyahu responded to a journalist who asked him about the casualties among the population of Gaza.”
