Netanyahu Says Israel Has Moved Into ‘Second Stage’ of War, Adds ‘We Will Be the Victors’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Jewish state during a Saturday address that the military has moved into a “second stage” of the ongoing war against Hamas, which reportedly includes mobilizing ground forces into Gaza.
The Israeli leader noted that the conflict is a fight for the survival of the country, adding that the war would only get more intense once the ground invasion of the territory sets in, according to the Associated Press.
Israel’s invasion into Gaza comes after Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on the Jewish state on October 7, where hundreds of Jews were slaughtered and many more were abducted, raped, and tortured.
Netanyahu said that “[t]here are moments in which a nation faces two possibilities: to do or die.” He went on to suggest that the country now faces “that test and I have no doubt how it will end: We will be the victors. We will do and we will be the victors.”
Netanyahu went on to suggest that the current conflict is the “second War of Independence,” adding that the Jewish state is “only at the beginning.” The Israeli leader’s comments were followed up by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s own comments, stating that “[t]his will not be a short war,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
