Israel would fight until this battle is won – Benjamin Netanyahu vows

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that he opposes a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, expressing concerns that it would be perceived as surrendering to Hamas.

He also called on other countries to provide support in securing the release of over 230 hostages taken by Hamas during the attacks on October 7.

Netanyahu emphasized that the international community should demand the immediate and unconditional release of these captives.

He said the international community must demand the captives “be freed immediately, unconditionally”.

“I want to make clear Israel’s position concerning the ceasefire, just as the United States did not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack of 9/11. Israel will not agree to the cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attack of October 7th.”

“Calls for a ceasefire are calls for surrender to Hamas, surrender to terrorism, surrender to barbarism, that will not happen,” Netanyahu said.

Vowing that Israel would “fight until this battle is won”, Netanyahu said the army was going out of its way to “prevent civilian casualties” in Gaza.

The health ministry in Gaza, controlled by Hamas, reported that a significant number of casualties, predominantly civilians, have occurred due to Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks since the conflict began on October 7, prompted by Hamas’s deadly attack on southern Israel, resulting in a large number of casualties, primarily civilians.
