'Will wipe Hamas off face of earth': Israel's Netanyahu vows to 'destroy' Hamas
On Wednesday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that all members of the terrorist Palestinian organisation were "a dead man" and promised to continue the group's struggle. Following Hamas' unexpected strike on Saturday, Netanyahu stated in his statement that israel intended to "destroy" the organisation for the first time.
In a brief broadcast address, he declared, "Hamas is Daesh (Islamic State group), and we will crush them and destroy them as the world has destroyed Daesh." This was his first joint declaration with his war cabinet. Yoav Gallant, the minister of defence, went on, "We will wipe Hamas off the data-face of the earth." Prior to the current crisis, Netanyahu temporarily resolved his political divisions and formed an emergency administration that included former defence minister Benny Gantz, a moderate.
