Gaza, Netanyahu: ‘Destruction of Iranian axis is next year's goal’

Milan, Sept. 22 (LaPresse) – "We are engaged in a struggle in which we are prevailing over our enemies, and we must destroy the Iranian axis — and we have the power to do so. This is what awaits us in the coming year, which could be a historic year for Israel’s security." This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a meeting with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) General Staff Forum, alongside IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Defense Minister Israel Katz, according to the Times of Israel. "I want to reiterate that we are determined to achieve all our war objectives," he added, "not only in Gaza, not only to complete the elimination of Hamas, to free our hostages, and to ensure Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel, but also on other fronts, to open up opportunities for security, victory, and even peace."
