During a visit to the Ramon Air Force Base in the Negev Desert, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explains that Israel has to let in supplies to Gaza no matter where the war goes from here.
“We will eliminate Hamas,” he pledges.
“In order to complete this goal, and also the release of our hostages, we are making progress in fighting and negotiating,” says Netanyahu. “In any path we choose, we will have to continue to allow the entry of minimal humanitarian supplies. We have done this until now.”
Last week, amid accusations that Israel was starving Gazans, Netanyahu drastically increased the amount and channels of aid entering Gaza, a sharp departure from Israel’s policy since March.
The prime minister also accuses the UN of lying about Israel: “It says we are not allowing humanitarian supplies to enter. It is allowed. There are secured convoys. There have been all along, but today it is official. There will be no more excuses. We will continue to fight, we will continue to act until we achieve all of our war goals — until complete victory.”
