“Hamas thought we would break; we will break Hamas,” Netanyahu said. He further stressed that Israel is working in unity and it conveys a clear message to Hamas and to the world. “We are working around the clock as a team, with a united front,” he says. “Our unity conveys a clear message to the people, the enemy, and to the world,” he added.

Moreover, he emphasized that the entire nation is behind the front-line warriors of Israel.
