Netanyahu Says Israel to Resume Gaza Offensive Even After Deal With Hamas, Calls for Countries to Accept Gazans After Expelling Them

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will resume its assault on Gaza even after reaching a deal with Hamas and the release of captives, adding that countries are needed to accept Palestinians forcibly displaced from the enclave.

“We in the coming days will be entering with all our strength to complete the process… to subdue Hamas,” Netanyahu said.

“It could be that Hamas will say ‘Pause, we want to release another 10 hostages,’” Netanyahu said while meeting Israeli wounded soldiers, adding that in that case they would stop and enter afterwards.

“But there will not be a situation where we stop the war.”

Netanyahu also reiterated previous claims that his government had established an agency to oversee a forced displacement plan for Gaza’s population. “But there is one problem, we need countries to receive them. This is what we are working on right now,” he added.

“If you give them an exit, I am telling you that more than 50 percent will leave, in my opinion many more.”
