Netanyahu considered that "Israel has the right to defend itself, as we are fighting a just war that was imposed on us, and after the elimination of Hamas in Gaza, there will be no party that will teach its children to eliminate Israel and the entire Israeli people."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a press conference on Saturday evening, "We are obligated to achieve the goals of the war, including eliminating Hamas, returning the kidnapped people, and ensuring that Gaza will not pose a threat to Israel. There is no alternative to achieved victory. We are committed to victory and we will achieve that."

He touched on the decisions of the International Court of Justice by saying, "There are those who came to the court to accuse us of committing genocide. South Africa came there in the name of Hamas, and the fact that this claim is being discussed proves that many around the world do not know anything about the Holocaust."

Netanyahu considered that "Israel has the right to defend itself, as we are fighting a just war that was imposed on us, and after the elimination of Hamas in Gaza, there will be no party that will teach its children about terrorism and eliminate Israel and the entire Israeli people."

He added, "If we do not eliminate Hamas, the next attack will be a matter of time, and therefore it is important that we complete the mission while there are voices within us that question our determination. These voices are a small minority, they are wrong and misleading, and we will achieve absolute victory."

Regarding investigations during the war, he said, “Examination and investigations should take place after the war and not in the midst of it. It is wrong for officers, leaders and politicians to be busy searching for lawyers, as the government will decide on this issue when the time comes and not those affiliated with it.”

He spoke about relations with Egypt and about Qatar, saying, “Relations with Egypt are ongoing and natural, as each of us has our own interests and there is a need to say certain things. They are concerned about their interests and we are as well. As for Qatar, I will not go back on a single word I said while it is hosting Hamas is funded and has pressure on it, and it has pledged that medicines will reach the kidnapped people.”

He continued, "We will assassinate Hamas leaders, and the day after the war ends, Hamas will be leaderless and without military capabilities."
