No force in the world, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will prevent the IDF’s planned expansion into Rafah, the town with more than 1 million Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu assured the soldiers that Israel would end Hamas following the Oct. 7 murder, despite growing pressure from international leaders to halt an invasion of Rafah until a strong human removal plan is established when he addressed the new IDF recruits on Tuesday.
Netanyahu vowed to finish the Hamas troops ‘ elimination, including that of Rafah, which is thought to be the area where four of the remaining six troops are thought to operate.
” There is no force in the world that will prevent us”, he added. ” Some forces are trying to accomplish this, but it will not help, because this army, after what it has done, will not do it once. It may cease to exist”.
The primary minister continued to state to the soldiers that the top priority for Israel is the release of all 133 victims who are still imprisoned in Gaza.
US authorities believe five of the remaining captives are British citizens, though it is unclear whether they are dead, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Jewish leaders.  ,
Netanyahu added that ensuring that Gaza is no longer a threat to Israel would be the IDF’s top two priorities in the wake of Hamas’s defeat.
Netanyahu’s warning comes just one day after he claimed that a set time had been set for the Rafah invasion, which had formerly been postponed due to international pressure and the start of Ramadan, a Muslim holy fortnight.
An estimated 1.4 million refugees reside in Rafah, with the majority of them seeking refuge from the fierce fighting that. They are now stranded between the conflict area and the Egyptian frontier.
Netanyahu has been consistently informed by US officials that a detailed plan must be put in place to leave the population from Rafah before the IDF confronts Hamas in the area.
According to Matthew Miller, a spokesman for the State Department, Israel’s plans to prevent civilian casualties in the southern area and provide safe support deliveries are insufficient.
According to Miller, “recent work must be just the starting place for a sustained Jewish commitment to ensure the people of Gaza have their basic needs met,” noting that the US has not been given a timeline for Israel’s battle in Rafah.
