Prime Minister Netanyahu threatens Hamas with an “unbearable price” should it enter into another armed conflict with Israel.
He speaks during a ceremony in honor of the fallen in Israel’s previous war with the terror group in 2014, amid several months of ongoing tensions, the likes of which have not been seen since the end of that war.
Netanyahu says Hamas failed to realize one of its main objectives in 2014, which was “to isolate Israel on the international stage.
“Not only has that not happened, but the exact opposite has happened: Even the Arab states — or leading states in the Arab world — identified with our position, and I have reason to believe that today this is doubly true,” he says.
“I recommend that the leaders of Gaza choose calm,” the prime minister continues. “If they choose escalation, the price they pay will be unbearable, unbearable to them.”
