Netanyahu: We will continue the war in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated and all detainees are returned.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed on Wednesday that his government will continue its war on the Gaza Strip until the complete elimination of Hamas, emphasizing that its goal is to "undermine Hamas's rule and return all detainees."

Netanyahu said in his statements: "We will undermine Hamas' rule in Gaza and return all the kidnapped soldiers," adding: "The military operations will not stop until we ensure that Hamas no longer poses a threat."

Netanyahu's statement comes as the war on Gaza has been ongoing for more than eight months, amid widespread destruction and a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
