Over calls from global leaders over military operations in Rafah, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that those who are trying to tell Israel not to enter Rafah want to keep Hamas there, The Jerusalem Post reported.He said that Israel, no matter what, will get the remaining Hamas terrorist battalions in Rafah.In an interview with a US-based broadcaster, Netanyahu said, “Those who say that under no circumstances should we enter Rafah are saying, lose the war, keep Hamas there.”
“We’re going to get the remaining Hamas terrorist battalions in Rafah, but we’re going to do it, and in this, I agree with the Americans, while providing safe passage for the civilian population so they can leave,” he emphasised. “Victory is within reach,” Netanyahu said, criticising the calls for Israel to avoid carrying out a military offensive inside Rafah in the interview with ABC that will be aired later today, according to The Jerusalem Post.
