Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined Fox News to talk about the growing tensions in northern Israel.
“You can see that there is an axis of terror, which is controlled by Iran. Against it is Israel, the modern Arab states, and of course the United States, the civilized countries,” he said.
“Everybody is waiting to see if Israel or Hamas is going to win. When they see that we’ve defeated them in one place, we’ll defeat them in every place. That’s how power works.”
‘We need to defeat them not only for our sake, but for the sake of the Middle East, for the sake of our Arab neighbors, and for the sake of Gazans who have been held hostage by this dark power that has brought them nothing but misery and bloodshed.”
“Our struggle is your struggle, our victory is your victory- and there is no substitute for victory. The forces of civilization must defeat these barbarians because otherwise this barbarism will spread and engulf the rest of the world.”
Netanyahu also insisted that there would be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages, emphasizing: “If we do that, it would be surrendering to Hamas.”
"If we don't win now, then Europe is next and you're next. And we have to win", Netanyahu added.
