Netanyahu calls to put 'everything' aside in order to defeat Hamas

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls to put “everything” aside to focus on winning the war against Hamas, a day after war cabinet member Benny Gantz warned the premier to choose between unity or playing politics.

In a video statement, Netanyahu calls for the military offensive in Gaza to continue “until we achieve all its aims,” which he lists as destroying Hamas, returning the hostages and ensuring the Strip “will not again be a threat to Israel.”

“We are not giving Hamas immunity anywhere, and we are fighting to restore security to both the south and north,” Netanyahu says. “Until then and to do so, we must put everything to the side and continue jointly until we obtain complete victory.”
