Netanyahu’s Spokesperson Tal Heinrich: Israel’s Cause Is Clear and Just

EXCERPT:

HEINRICH: “So, as we stated, the goal of the operation in Gaza right now of this war that we didn’t start, we didn’t even expect, we were dragged into it by Hamas when they carried out the October 7th massacre and butchered 1,400 Israelis. We said that the goal is to dismantle Hamas’s military capabilities and to make sure that by the end of this, they will also lack the motivation to ever hurt us as they did. We will also take out their governance bodies and we will make sure that Hamas will be no longer in the Gaza Strip. We will change the reality there. Now, there are different contingency plans that are being discussed in Israeli circles and with international and American counterparts right now about the day after, but we’re not there yet. Right now we are very determined to accomplish this goal. We are a nation in deep, deep pain, as President Biden said yesterday. He was here and he witnessed the pain because he met with some of these families who lost loved ones. But, nevertheless, we are very determined and our cause is very clear and is very just.”
