Netanyahu: If Necessary, We Will Fight Alone in Gaza; We Will Not Allow Iran to Become Nuclear

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with Douglas Murray from 'Talk TV' in Britain that if the international community does not provide strong support, Israel will continue its war against Hamas alone. In a stern tone directed at international leaders, Netanyahu said, 'If you cannot bear the pressure of public opinion, we will act alone. We will do whatever it takes for survival.' In another part of his remarks regarding Iran, Netanyahu claimed that the Islamic Republic has been very aggressive and possesses a radical Islamic ideology, and that their acquisition of nuclear weapons would not only lead them to conquer the Middle East but also to global dominance. Netanyahu emphasized that many countries and leaders have been asleep for too long, but we intend to take measures to ensure that the Islamic Republic does not acquire nuclear weapons. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Netanyahu said that Israel's war with Hamas is going 'better than expected.' He noted, 'It took America and its allies nine months to defeat radical forces in Mosul.' The Israeli Prime Minister referred to the battles against ISIS in 2016 and 2017. He stated, 'Mosul is smaller than Gaza and did not have large underground terrorist infrastructures. We are now in our fourth month of military operations, but we have had difficult days.' Netanyahu: The war with Hamas is going 'better than expected.' The fighting continues in Khan Younis; 11 Palestinian militants were killed in clashes with Israeli forces. The International Court of Justice has issued a ruling regarding South Africa's complaint against Israel. The International Court of Justice is deciding on South Africa's request to stop the war in Gaza. The majority of U.S. Democratic senators support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli Minister of Economy stated that the Islamic Republic is a 'legitimate target' of Israeli missile attacks. Efforts continue for the exchange of prisoners and hostages; Hamas does not accept an agreement until a complete ceasefire is established.
