Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Tel Aviv's bombing on Sunday evening of the displaced persons' camp in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip as a "tragic mistake," stressing that he was "not ready to end the war in the Gaza Strip until victory is achieved."

This came in his speech on Monday evening, before the plenary session of the Knesset (Parliament), followed by Anatolia, amid families of Israeli detainees boycotting him more than once, with chants demanding the release of their families.

On Sunday evening, 45 Palestinians were murdered and dozens were injured, most of them children and women, in an Israeli bombing that targeted the tents of displaced people in the Tal al-Sultan area, northwest of Rafah, even though it was among the areas that the Israeli army claimed were “safe and possible to move to.”

Netanyahu claimed in his speech that Israel “evacuated a million uninvolved residents (in Rafah), and despite our efforts not to harm them, a tragic mistake occurred, and the case is being investigated,” as he put it.

He claimed that what happened was "a tragedy for us, and for Hamas it is a strategy."
