Benjamin Netanyahu: “Those two things, the defeat of Hamas and the release of all our hostages, go hand in hand.”

“Yes, but you know someone said the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic republic of Britain.”

We will allow IDF troops to do everything necessary to protect themselves, protect our territory, and protect our citizens.

We won’t retreat from the current lines until Hamas lays down all of its arms.

The military will not make any withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and citizens.
