Israel is in a decisive phase, Netanyahu stated in a statement on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of the attacks on October 7, 2023.
"We are in fateful, decisive days. We will continue to act to achieve all the war goals: the return of all the kidnapped, the elimination of Hamas rule and to ensure that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to Israel", the Prime Minister said in the statement.
The statement came at the same time as the parties are holding indirect talks in the Egyptian tourist resort Sharm El-Sheik, in cooperation with the mediators Egypt and Qatar and with American presence.
Netanyahu referred to the fact that the Islamist extremist movement's rule should be eliminated, which differs from previous statements by the Prime Minister where he spoke of the goal of annihilating the Islamist Hamas.
