Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli infantrymen outside the Gaza Strip on Saturday, said his office in press statement. The video released by his office also showed Netanyahu telling soldiers: “You ready for the next stage? The next stage is coming.”
In a press statement, Prime Minister Office said that Netanyahu toured Kibbutz Be’eri and Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and saw ruins of houses where the horrific massacre occurred. The Prime Minister met with IDF fighters in the field, including Col. Ami Bitton, commanding officer of the Paratroopers Brigade (the 35th Brigade), who recounted how he arrived in the first few hours of fighting together with hundreds of fighters who arrived from across the country from training, non-combat duties and exercises.
Earlier Prime Minister Netanyahu in press statement said that “we all understand that we are fighting for our home. And we are all fighting tooth and nail: soldiers, police officers, citizens, security forces, health personnel and rescue teams — and Israel’s citizens, with your extraordinary volunteering spiring that has touched the entire world. We are all mobilized, we are all united.
He further said that the stories of the heroic acts of our people in these dark days of pain and grief, of that cursed Saturday, will be told for years to come. Stories that will become an integral part of the history of Israel, he added.
He further said that “in my phone calls with President Biden and other world leaders, and through many other efforts, we are securing vast international support for Israel. Earlier today I met with the US secretary of state. We are ensuring that the war will continue through munitions and weapons that are en route to Israel”. He further said that we will obliterate Hamas, we will triumph. It might take time, but we will end this war stronger than ever. “May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them.”
He added that we will never forget the horrific acts perpetrated against us by our enemies. I spoke today with bereaved families and families whose loved ones are still unaccounted for. Their world has collapsed. I know. We will never forget the horrific acts perpetrated by our enemies, and we will never forgive. We will not allow the world, or anyone, to forget these horrors, the likes of which the Jewish people have not endured in decades.
He said that we are pounding our enemies with unprecedented force, and I stress, this is only the beginning. Our enemies have only just begun to pay the price. I will not detail our plans, but I tell you, this is only the beginning.
