On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Tel Aviv “will not stop” its war on the Gaza Strip until it “achieves all its goals.”

Netanyahu said in a video speech, which he posted on his official account on the “X” platform: “We fight until victory. We will not stop the war until we complete all its goals, eliminating Hamas and releasing all the hostages in Gaza.”

He claimed that "Hamas has two options: surrender or death."

He added, "Gaza will no longer pose any threat to Israel."

Netanyahu repeatedly stressed that the war on Gaza will not stop except by eliminating the Hamas movement in Gaza and releasing all prisoners detained in the Strip.

According to Israeli statistics, Hamas captured about 239 people during its attack on southern Israel on October 7, and exchanged dozens of them during a humanitarian truce that lasted for 7 days until December 1, with Israel, which holds 7,800 Palestinians in its prisons. Among them are children and women.

Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which, as of Wednesday, has left 20,000 Palestinian dead and 52,600 wounded, most of them children and women, massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
