"This war has revealed to the world what Israel has always known: Iran was behind the attack against us through its proxies." Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said this, adding "since October 7th we have been attacked on many fronts by Iran's affiliates: Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the militias in Iraq and Syria". "Israel - he added - is ready, in defense and attack, for any attempt to hit us, from anywhere".
"I have made it clear to the international community: there will be no ceasefire without the return of the hostages," Netanyahu said at the government meeting. “This is the policy of the Israeli government and I welcome the fact that the Biden administration made clear the other day that this is also its position.” "I would like to clarify one more thing: it is not Israel that is preventing an agreement but Hamas. Its extreme demands are aimed at putting an end to the war and leaving the Islamic faction intact", he added.
