The statement was released via video and delivered in English.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said:
I would like to clarify a few points.
Israel has no intention of permanently occupying Gaza or displacing civilians.
Israel is fighting Hamas terrorists, not the Palestinian people, and we are doing so in full compliance with international law.
While the IDF is doing everything in its power to minimize civilian casualties, Hamas is doing everything in its power to maximize civilian casualties by using Palestinian civilians as human shields.
While the Israeli Defense Forces encourage Palestinian civilians to leave combat zones by distributing leaflets, making phone calls, and offering safe passage, Hamas prevents Palestinians from leaving at gunpoint and often by firing shots. ing.
Our goal is to eliminate Hamas terrorists from Gaza and free the hostages. If this is achieved, Gaza will be demilitarized and deradicalized, thereby creating the possibility of a better future for both Israelis and Palestinians. ”
As Breitbart News reported on Wednesday, the ICJ has filed a victim complaint filed by South Africa after the genocidal terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 Israelis. and an “indictment'' that would reverse the roles of the aggressor.
