Netanyahu: There is no other choice, we must liberate Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared today that Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas.

Speaking to foreign media in Jerusalem on Sunday, he defended a planned military offensive. He insists the goal is not to occupy Gaza, the goal is to liberate Gaza. He was also railing against what he called a “global campaign of lies” as condemnation of the plan grows both inside and outside Israel.

Netanyahu said he has a fairly short timeframe in mind for next steps in Gaza.

The objectives there, according to Netanyahu, include the demilitarization of Gaza, the Israeli military having "predominant control of security there" and a non-Israeli civilian administration at the top.

Netanyahu blamed the militant group Hamas for many of Gaza's problems, including civilian deaths, destruction and lack of aid./ CNA
