Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took issue on Sunday against rising international pressure as it continues to wage a war against the terrorist organization Hamas.
“There are those in the international community who are trying to stop the war now, before all of its goals are achieved. They do this by hurling false accusations against the IDF, against the Israeli government, and against the Prime Minister of Israel,” Netanyahu said as he announced an operation into Rafah.
“They do this by trying to bring about elections now, in the midst of the war. And they do this because they know that elections now will stop the war and paralyze the country for at least six months.”
Netanyahu emphasized that stopping the war now would mean Israel has lost the war and that no international pressure will stop Israel from eliminating Hamas, freeing all the hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat against the Jewish State.
“In order to do this, we will also operate in Rafah. This is the only way to eliminate the rest of the murderous battalions of Hamas, and this is the only way to exert the military pressure necessary to release all our hostages,” he said.
The prime minister finished his address by admonishing the international community for losing its moral compass
“To our friends in the international community I say: Is your memory so short? So quickly did you forget October 7, the most terrible massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust? So quickly are you ready to deny Israel the right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas? Did you lose your moral conscience so quickly?”
