Defense Minister Yoav Gallant briefs 31 of his counterparts at a NATO meeting in Brussels, his office says.
Gallant tells them about the of the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against children, women, men and the elderly, and shows them an uncensored video.
“We have been hit hard. Yet make no mistake – 2023 is not 1943. We are the same Jews, but we have different capabilities. The State of Israel is strong. We are united, and powerful,” he says.
“Hamas is the ‘ISIS’ of Gaza, a savage organization, funded and supported by Iran. Hamas is ISIS,” he says.”The ‘ISIS’ of Gaza will not exist, on our borders. The IDF will destroy Hamas. And we will hunt down every last man, with the blood of our children, on his hands.”
Gallant expresses appreciation for the global show of solidarity with Israel, particularly the support from the United States.
