Netanyahu: War has not ended, those who seek to do us harm are re-arming

The war “has not ended,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stresses in an address to the Knesset.

“Those who seek to do us harm are re-arming. They did not give up their aim of destroying us.”

Hamas “will be disarmed,” he promises. “Gaza will be demilitarized. It will either happen the easy way, or it will happen the hard way. But it will happen.”

Netanyahu hints that Israel is growing closer to “more states in the region” than it ever has, and says that the public will hear more about it.

He insists Israel wants “real peace,” while needing to keep “the sword of David” in its hands.

He decries those on the far-left, Islamic extremists, some on the far-right and some in the media internationally who want to claim that Israel is a Goliath, and are depicting Israel as a destructive force and its enemies as a David.

“We are the David,” he says, highlighting those trying to destroy Israel as an Iranian-led Goliath.

Israel is proving victorious, “and we have no intention of apologizing for that,” he says.
