Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the recent developments in negotiations with Hamas during a live interview from Jerusalem. Netanyahu clarified that despite reports suggesting a potential agreement with Hamas, the deal fell through due to what he described as outlandish demands from the militant group.
Netanyahu emphasized that the conflict with Hamas is not just a local issue but a battle between civilization and barbarism. He highlighted the threat posed by the Iran terror axis, which views both Israel and the United States as adversaries. Netanyahu urged the international community, particularly the 'civilized community,' to support Israel in its fight against what he termed 'barbarians.'
According to Netanyahu, Hamas' unreasonable demands and hostile stance make them a common enemy of both Israel and the United States. He stressed the importance of solidarity in combating terrorism and extremism in the region.
Netanyahu expressed confidence that the majority of Americans understand the gravity of the situation and reiterated the need for unified support against shared adversaries. He called for a united front to reject criticisms and pressures aimed at undermining Israel's efforts to combat terrorism.
In conclusion, Netanyahu asserted that victory in the ongoing conflict is achievable with international backing and solidarity. He expressed hope that the Middle East would recognize the necessity of standing against extremism and terrorism to expedite the resolution of the conflict.
