Netanyahu: We have completed the first sacred mission of the war's objectives and we will respond to any Iranian attack

Translation by SadaNews - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday evening that Israel has completed its first sacred mission regarding its objectives in the war on the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu stated at a press conference marking the return of the last bodies of Israeli captives from Gaza, that absolute victory stands on three pillars: the return of all hostages, the disarming of Hamas, and the disarming of the Gaza Strip, and we completed the first objective yesterday.

He added, as translated by SadaNews, I believed we would bring everyone back .. I believed otherwise when I was told to respond to Hamas's demands.. I believed that by combining military and political pressure, we would be able to bring all our captives back home. He indicated that he did not succumb to any pressures exerted on him.

He emphasized that Hamas and the Palestinian organizations will be disarmed, either the easy way or the hard way, and in either case, it will happen. He also stated.

He reiterated that Israel will not allow any Turkish or Qatari forces to enter Gaza, nor will a Palestinian state be established in Gaza.

The Israeli Prime Minister said: Israel will secure the area from the Jordan River to the sea, and this will also include the Gaza Strip.

Regarding Iran, Netanyahu said: The Iranian axis is trying to grow stronger.. If Iran makes the grave mistake of attacking Israel, we will respond with a force like they have never seen before.

In response to a question about a potential American attack against Iran, Netanyahu said: President Trump will decide what he decides, and Israel will decide what it decides.. We are prepared for every scenario.

Regarding internal disagreements, Netanyahu, in response to a question about whether elections will be held on time, stated: The last thing Israel needs at this time is elections.. We need stability, and I hope everyone understands the national responsibility required at this moment.
