Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained strong stance that the elimination of the Palestinian fighters, Hamas is a must job for the Israeli soldiers.

Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated the strong stance few hours ago in a live broadcast following debate during the United Nations Security Council.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the national broadcast said:

“I greatly appreciate the correct stance that the US has taken in the UN Security Council.

“The other countries need to understand that, on the one hand, it is impossible to support the elimination of Hamas while, on the other hand, calling for a halt to the war, which will prevent the elimination of Hamas.

“Therefore, Israel will continue our just war to eliminate Hamas and achieve the other goals of the war that we have set”.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara had during the week lit the first Chanukah candle, at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Others who participated in the event were National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir and his wife, Ayala, Israel Police Inspector General, Koby Shabtai, Jerusalem District Police Commander, Doron Turgeman, Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, Western Wall Heritage Foundation Director, Soli Eliav, and Israel Police officers and Border Police officers from the Jerusalem District.

Prime Minister Netanyahu during the candle lit had said:

“We are here by the remnant of our Temple from 2,000 years ago. The Maccabees of that time liberated the Temple, purified it, re-established Jewish sovereignty and independence, and saved the heritage, religion and people of Israel. Without them the thread of our lives would been torn and we would not be standing here today.

“The battle then was against the forces of evil who came to wipe the Jewish people off the face of the Earth. Today we – the Maccabees of our times – are fighting the forces of evil that have come to wipe the Jewish people and its state off the face of the earth. We are showing the same determination, heroism and sacrifice.

“This evening we embrace with a grieving heart our friend Gadi Eisenkot and his wife Hannah, who lost their young son; Gal whom I saw and spoke with some years ago. These are the sons of all of us, as it is with the other fallen – the sons and daughters of all of us.

“I have heard the stories of the heroism of our soldiers, of our men and women police officers whom I have met and sometimes fought with their fingernails, the accounts of utmost heroism, who repelled the enemy.

“We are currently deep inside the Gaza Strip. This enemy will not break us up – we will break it up. This enemy will not wipe us out, we will wipe it out. This enemy will not overcome us, we will overcome it. This is being carried out day by day and night by night, and we will do it until the end.

“I believe with complete faith in the inherent power of this people, the power of life. But this power of life requires us, sometimes, to endure the tribulations of bereavement. Apparently, this is the price of our existence in our land, but we can bear it.

“I would like to thank you, men and women of the Israel Police, for what you are doing day and night for the security of our country, and for the future of our people. I offer you heartfelt thanks. I think that the entire nation has learned to recognize your unique contribution.

“I believe that the joined forces of all parts of our people and all of our citizens, we will quickly bring the absolute victory over the forces of evil and restore security not only to the south but to the north as well, from where I have just returned.

“I spoke with President Biden this evening and I told him: ‘We are on the eve of Chanukah.’ He told me that he had a menorah in his office. I told him: ‘We have a menorah in our heart, for our country and our future.’

“This year we are lighting the first Chanukah candle in the knowledge that this light will never be extinguished. Even if this holiday is diluted with sorrow, may we – knowing this – have a happy holiday. A happy holiday to you.”
