‘Hamas is ISIS, will be crushed soon’:On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked US Secretary of State Antony Blinken for helping Israel combat Hamas.He described Blinken’s visit as a concrete manifestation of America’s unwavering support during a time when the region should stand tall, united, and proud in opposition to the sheer evil.
“The extraordinary support of the American people for Israel in our war against the barbarians of Hamas is greatly appreciated. “Mr. Secretary, your visit serves as further concrete evidence of the United States’ unwavering support for Israel,” Netanyahu said in a joint statement following his meeting with Blinken at the Kirya headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Tel Aviv.
He added that Hamas has demonstrated its antipathy toward civilization, but that the forces of civilization will ultimately triumph over the pure evil. “Tony, my companion. What I say to you, I say to everyone. There are numerous challenging days ahead. However, I am certain that the forces of civilization will prevail. This is true due to the fact that we are cognizant of the fundamental requirement for triumph—moral clarity. “At this time, we must stand tall, united, and proud in opposition to evil.”
Neatnyahu compared the Hamas to ISIS and declared that the extremist organization, too, would be annihilated. “Hamas is ISIS, and in the same way that ISIS was defeated, Hamas will also be defeated.” Hamas ought to be subjected to the same treatment that ISIS received. They ought to be expelled from the international community. They should not be welcomed by any nation or leader, and those who do so should face sanctions.
During a visit, Blinken declared that the United States will “always” support Israel, but added that Hamas does not represent the “legitimate aspirations” of the Palestinian people. “Your personal strength may be sufficient to defend yourself.” However, not for as long as the United States of America endures. “Our support will perpetually be extended to you,” Blinken stated in the joint statement.
Blinken and a team of officials arrived at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv earlier today for a solidarity visit as the Israeli army confronts Hamas in retaliation for the 1,200 deaths that occurred over the weekend in Israel. Additionally, at least 25 American citizens were slain in the attacks, according to Blinken.
President Joe Biden had previously deemed the unprecedented assaults on Israel the “deadliest day” for Jews since the Holocaust, recalling the centuries-long anti-Semitism and genocide that the Jewish people have endured. The United States, according to Biden, continues to closely monitor the situation in Israel.
