Netanyahu made a striking comparison, stating, “We always knew who Hamas was. Now, the rest of the world knows. Hamas is ISIS, and we will prevail against them as the modern world overcame ISIS.” He emphasized that the enemy sought war, and that is precisely what they would receive.
Expressing gratitude, the prime minister acknowledged the support of US President Joe Biden and other world leaders. He revealed that he maintains continuous contact with President Biden and conveyed appreciation on behalf of all Israeli citizens for the unwavering commitment of the United States in both words and actions in securing Israel’s safety.
