Netanyahu: “Capitulation on her terms would lead to a new massacre”
Benjamin Netanyahu earlier rejected the ceasefire plan proposed by Hamas, explaining at a press conference that capitulation on its terms would lead to “new carnage” similar to that of October 7.
At the same time Benjamin Netanyahu said that ordered the military leadership to “prepare” an operation in Rafahthe southernmost city of the Gaza Strip, considering that final victory over Hamas is “a matter of months.”
“Our heroic soldiers are currently fighting in Khan Younis, a key Hamas stronghold. We have ordered the Israeli armed forces to prepare an operation in Rafah and two (refugee) camps, the last remaining strongholds of Hamas,” the Israeli prime minister said. “Victory is possible. It's not measured in years or decades, it's a matter of months,” Netanyahu assured, four months after Hamas' unprecedented attack on Israel sparked the war.
Hamas proposed a plan that included a 4.5-month ceasefireduring which all hostages would be released, while Israel would withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip.
Referring to the situation on Israel's northern border where, due to the ongoing hostilities with Lebanon's Hezbollah, tens of thousands of Israelis have been forced to leave their homes, Netanyahu stressed that a solution – either diplomatic or military – must be found soon. We cannot tolerate, he stressed, the existence of almost 100,000 displaced persons in our country.
