Defense Minister Yoav Galant: “Hamas only understands power”
In a situation assessment at Division 98, Defense Minister Yoav Galant made strong statements regarding the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
Galant stated, “Hamas only understands power. When you don’t give it anything and stay on the line, it can negotiate with you for 20 years. When you have something to give it, which is silence and a halt for such a period of time or Otherwise, he is willing to pay for it.”
He emphasized the importance of not relenting in the face of Hamas, stating, “The fight to defeat Hamas is a local fight, but there is a Middle Eastern projection here. If for the murder, killing and kidnapping of 1,500 children, women and civilians, we do not exact a dramatic price – the destruction of Hamas as an organization, everyone else in the vicinity will think of trying us. Victory Complete in this war will result in the avoidance of future wars for a long time.”
Galant’s strong stance mirrors the Israeli government’s commitment to defeating Hamas and ensuring the safety and security of its citizens. The ongoing conflict in the region continues to be a source of international concern, and Galant’s comments underscore the gravity of the situation.
As the conflict persists, the Israeli government remains resolute in its determination to confront Hamas and prevent further hostilities. Galant’s remarks serve as a reminder of the complexities and challenges involved in reaching a resolution in the region.
