‘This really is a war for our home. And it must end with one thing, a complete victory. And the crushing and elimination of Hamas.’
The Knesset this evening (Thursday) approved the formation of the new emergency unity government with the National Unity Party under MK Benny Gantz. 66 MKs voted in favor of the new government, while four voted against it.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the MKs before the vote.
“This really is a war for our home. And it must end with one thing, a complete victory. And the crushing and elimination of Hamas. Hamas is the same as ISIS,” Netanyahu stated.
“It’s just the simple truth. Hamas is ISIS. And the world, which was shocked by ISIS and by Al Qaeda after September 11, created an international coalition to eliminate this scourge. No one said, ‘Let’s go meet with representatives of ISIS or Al Qaeda.’ No one said, ‘Let’s give them a presence in our country’. That’s why I said today: There will be no discussions of that sort. We don’t meet with them. And if there are countries that maintain the presence [of Hamas terrorists or leaders], they must be expelled. Throw them out,” he said.
