Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday visited the northern Gaza Strip, accompanied by IDF Deputy Chief-of-Staff Maj.-Gen. Amir Baram, as well as his Chief of Staff, Tzachi Braverman, and his Military Secretary, Maj.-Gen. Avi Gil. During his visit, Netanyahu received detailed briefings from the Commander of the 261st Brigade, Col. Yehuda Wach, and other military officials on the ongoing operations in the region, and was informed about the extensive enemy war material and tunnel shafts found in home and other civilian areas.
Addressing the troops, Netanyahu expressed his admiration and the nation’s pride in their efforts, stressing the government’s commitment to their safety and the continuation of the mission until its completion.
“I am here with you in the northern Gaza Strip and I am extraordinarily impressed,” Netanyahu said. “We are proud of you and rely on you. We see the determination and the desire to continue on until the end.”
Netanyahu assured the soldiers of two key priorities: “First, we will do everything to maintain your safety and your lives. While we want to pursue the mission, we want to safeguard you even more. That is the first – and most important – thing. Second, we are not stopping. Whoever talks about stopping – there is no such thing. We are not stopping. The war will continue until the end, until we finish it, no less.”
Acknowledging the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families, Netanyahu said, “I know that you left your families and that your families support you. That is amazing. That is the power – the key to victory.”
A soldier highlighted the loss of comrades, saying, “We left two of our friends here.” Netanyahu responded, “I know. Not a few, and dear friends. For this we are continuing. The testament is to continue.”
Brigade Commander Yehuda Wach echoed the Prime Minister’s sentiments, affirming their commitment to victory: “It is important that you came and it is important that they know that we will go wherever you tell us – we will win. Not ‘close’, not ‘more or less’ – until the end. We will win.”

This means we kill everything living in the Gaza war zone what with life cause they didn’t leave there homes that was part of the blood an air they breath France is starting to call it’s citizens of Israel army to war crimes this not only cause they support a army that does kill for no real reason but also cause they actually have orders to kill anything alive that didn’t want to go a place little safer
Netanyahu is a two facer. He is saying one thing to Biden and another to the Israelis regarding the war. I also wonder if the soldiers he met understand that he’s putting their lives on the line by not providing adequate pre-bombing of buildings. Netanyahu literally has the blood of Israeli soldiers on his hand due to his attempt at minimizing terrorist deaths so that Biden and “the world” will not be “so” angry at the Israelis. They hate Jews in any case, certainly Jews who defend themselves, why is Netanyahu letting Jewish blood be killed due to the hate of the nations?
say whatever you want , however i don’t think that the president of the united states would go in to a war zone like this. Then again Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu served in the special forces.
