Israel's Military Campaign Against Hamas Enters New Phase as Netanyahu Signals Shift to Lebanon Border
ai generated text
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that the intense phase of the conflict with Hamas in Gaza is nearing its end. Netanyahu also hinted at the possibility of a partial deal, but emphasized that he would not agree to any agreement that stipulated an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
Hezbollah is more capable than Hamas as far as overall capability, number rockets and the like. And I would just say I would see Iran be more inclined to provide greater support to Hezbollah.
To say that we are going to make Hamas disappear is to throw sand in people's eyes.
We are prepared for any action that may be required in Gaza, Lebanon, and in more areas.
During these meetings I plan to discuss developments in Gaza and Lebanon. These [discussions] are particularly important and impactful at this time. We are prepared for any action that may be required in Gaza, Lebanon and in additional areas.
It's clear military control in the foreseeable future will be ours.
Look, if there is an agreement, it will be an agreement according to our terms. Our terms are not ending the war, leaving Gaza, and leaving Hamas intact. I refuse to leave Hamas intact. We need to eliminate them.
In the end, you will have to do two things: you will need the ongoing military demilitarisation by the Israel Defense Forces and you will need to establish a civil administration, I hope that with the support and management of certain countries in the region, I think this is the right way to move forward.
It doesn't mean that the war is going to end, but the war in its current stage is going to end in Rafah. This is true. We will continue mowing the grass later.
I'll tell you what I'm not ready to do, I'm not ready to establish a Palestinian state there, I'm not ready to hand it over to the Palestinian Authority. I'm not ready to do that.
We also want to create a civilian administration, if possible with local Palestinians, and maybe with external backing from countries in the region, to manage humanitarian supply and later on civilian affairs in the Strip.
It would be a tall order for Israeli air defences to confront the widespread rocket arsenal coming from the north.
Hezbollah's rocket and missile arsenal also includes long-range missiles.
