(JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night urged the country and its political establishment to put all differences aside in order to achieve total victory against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

"Three months ago, Hamas committed a terrible massacre against us. My government directed the IDF to go to war to eliminate Hamas, return our hostages and ensure that Gaza will never again be a threat to Israel," said the premier.

"The war must not be stopped until we achieve all of the goals. We will not give Hamas any immunity whatsoever, and we will fight until we restore security in both the south and the north.

"Until then, and to that end, everything must be put aside and we must continue with united forces until absolute victory is achieved," added Netanyahu.
