Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called for world unity against Hamas in an address to the Knesset. The Israeli military said Monday that Hamas and other Palestinian militants are holding 199 hostages in Gaza, a figure higher than previous estimates.
Israeli PM Netanyahu gave a speech in the Israeli Knesset on Monday in which he said the world needed to unite to defeat Hamas. He said “our war is your war,” and he compared Hamas to the Nazis.
Netanyahu also warned Iran and Hezbollah not to “test” Israel in the north. Israel’s IDF has exchanged fire with Lebanon’s Hezbollah over the past several days following Hamas’s attack on Israel.
The Israeli army on Sunday said it was ready to launch a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip.
