Here, again, when the time comes, the IDF, according to international law, will enable\u200d the \u2062civilians a safe passage outside these \u2063areas. The destruction of\u200b this underground is\u2063 what we are going \u2062to do until the very end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Israeli Prime Minister stressed the necessity of a complete\u2063 and decisive victory over Hamas, highlighting the potential for future massacres\u2062 and the \u200bthreat posed by Iran&#8217;s support for terrorism. He conveyed this message to U.S. Secretary of\u200c State Anthony\u200d Blinken, stating, &#8220;So only by destroying \u2063Hamas will we have security for the State of Israel in the north and in the south, because Hamas would like to radiate its terror all over the\u200b Middle East. I said to Secretary of State Blinken we&#8217;re just a touch away, a finger away from that decisive victory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Message to the Families of Hostages<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Netanyahu directly addressed the families\u2064 of the hostages still held by Hamas, assuring them that their loved ones are always \u2064in their\u2062 hearts. He expressed empathy for their pain\u200c and pledged relentless \u200befforts to secure\u2064 their release, \u2064emphasizing the \u200ccatastrophic consequences if they are not freed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Continuing this pressure is a condition; it&#8217;s\u200c an unequivocal situation and we must achieve their release, because if we do \u2062not\u2062 we are going to bring a terrible catastrophe \u200cto the state of \u2062Israel if we stop,&#8221; Netanyahu stated.<\/p>\n<h3>The Day After Hamas<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Looking ahead, Netanyahu clarified that the day after Hamas\u200d is\u200c the \u2062day after the complete elimination of the terrorist\u200c group. He assured Secretary of State Blinken\u200c that the Gaza Strip will be demilitarized permanently, with Israel and the \u2064IDF\u200b being the only forces capable \u2062of ensuring this outcome.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis, there are reports that the Biden administration is considering a shift in U.S. \u200dpolicy, potentially recognizing a Palestinian state. However, the Palestinians have\u2063 consistently rejected previous Israeli peace proposals.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1707492145383000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1VM6nEedTXWtCR6YhVPILN\">CLICK HERE TO \u200bGET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, the Biden administration \u200dhas been sending messages \u2062to Israel that could interfere with\u200b its mission to defeat Hamas. Secretary of State Blinken \u2063has even attempted to draw\u200b a moral equivalence between Hamas&#8217; brutal massacre of Israelis and Israel&#8217;s defensive actions, stating, &#8220;Israelis were dehumanized in the most horrific way on October 7. The hostages have been dehumanized \u200devery day since. But that cannot be a license to dehumanize others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What steps has the Israeli \u2063government taken to secure the release of\u200c the hostages?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  That \u200cthe Israeli government is doing everything\u2063 in its power to secure their release. He acknowledged the pain and anguish these families are experiencing, stating, &#8220;We stand\u2064 by your side.

He argued that a partial victory or a ceasefire\u200b would only allow Hamas to regroup and rearm, leading to further bloodshed \u200band suffering.

Netanyahu warned, &#8220;Iran is the main sponsor of \u200bglobal terrorism, \u200dit&#8217;s the head of the snake. By not holding Iran\u2064 accountable, the international community is allowing it to spread its influence and support terrorist organizations across the globe.&#8221; He urged the international community to take a firm stance against Iran&#8217;s aggression and support\u2064 Israel in its fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n<h3>The \u2063Road Ahead<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that Israel is on the verge of \u200cachieving a decisive victory over Hamas.
