With Hamas delivering its response.. Ben Gvir to Netanyahu: You do not have a mandate to stop the war without defeating Hamas.

The Minister of National Security for the occupation, Itamar Ben Gvir, issued a stern warning to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing that he does not have the mandate to stop the war against Hamas without achieving a complete defeat of the group. This came at a sensitive time as Hamas received its response to the mediators' proposals for a ceasefire.

Ben Gvir pointed out that any decision by Netanyahu to halt the war would be tantamount to wasting a historic opportunity, warning of dire consequences. He stressed the need to exploit the current situation to achieve a decisive victory over Hamas.

In his remarks, Ben Gvir mentioned that Netanyahu had squandered a previous opportunity when he ignored a warning from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who demanded the release of hostages in Gaza, warning that this would open the gates of hell.

Ben Gvir added in his direct message to Netanyahu: "We now have the opportunity to defeat Hamas, and I tell the Prime Minister that you do not have the mandate to go for a partial deal without defeating them." These statements reflect the internal tensions within the occupation government regarding how to handle the ongoing conflict.

The war continues in the besieged Gaza Strip, where calls from various parties for a clear military victory over Hamas are escalating, reflecting the significant challenges facing the occupation government in making strategic decisions.

Ben Gvir's statements show how the internal conflict among the leaders of the occupation can influence the course of the war, as each seeks to assert their strength and influence under the current circumstances.
