Israel maintains that “international pressure” will not stop the war in Gaza

From different countries it is already demanded that Israel respect international rights and that there be a ceasefire in LoopHowever, the prime minister Israeli, Benjamin Netanyahuhe said this Sunday, before meeting with the war cabinet in the face of a new round of truce negotiations in Gaza, which will not stop the war or call elections despite growing “international pressures.”

“There are those in the international community who are trying to stop the war now, before all its objectives are achieved,” Netanyahu insisted this Sunday in Tel Aviv, which he said would be tantamount to losing it.

The prime minister reiterated his three main objectives: eliminate Hamas, free the hostages and ensure that Loop “no longer poses a threat to Israel,” which he said would involve invading Rafah.

“We will operate in Rafah. “This is the only way to eliminate the rest of Hamas’ murderous battalions and this is the only way to apply the military pressure necessary to free all of our hostages,” he said.

Since the outbreak of war in the Palestinian enclave, Netanyahu has been in conflict with the international community, even with his great ally, the United States, which asks him not to invade Rafah if he cannot guarantee the safety of the 1.4 million people. displaced from the north.

“And to our friends in the international community I say: Do you have such a short memory? Did they so quickly forget October 7, the most terrible massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust? “Are you so quick to deny Israel the right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas?” he reproached them.

Finally, Netanyahu criticized those who, both inside the mass protests and outside his country, are calling for new elections: “They do it because they know that the elections now will stop the war and paralyze the country for at least six months.”

On March 15, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, accused Netanyahu of being the main “obstacle” to achieving peace in the region and called for elections.

“Instead of putting pressure on Israel, which is waging an unjust war against an enemy that could not be more cruel, direct your pressure against Hamas and its patron: Iran. It is they who represent a danger to the region and the entire world,” she said.
