Netanyahu: Israel will push with Gaza offensive

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel's allies have a short memory regarding Hamas' October 7 attack and that Israel would push on with its Gaza offensive despite growing international pressure.

"To our friends in the international community, I say: is your memory so short? So quickly you forgot about October 7, the worst massacre committed against Jews since the Holocaust?" Netanyahu said at the start of his cabinet meeting.

"So quickly, you are ready to deny Israel the right to defend itself against the monsters of Hamas?"

Netanyahu reiterated that Israel would push on with its offensive in Gaza, including in the city of Rafah while evacuating civilians from combat zones.
