00:00One year ago, Yitzhak Sinwar, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7th massacre against Israel.
00:07It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
00:12It was the worst attack on the Jewish state since the founding of Israel.
00:17Sinwar's terrorists murdered in cold blood 1,200 people.
00:21That's elderly people, Holocaust survivors, children.
00:26They brutally raped women.
00:28They beheaded men.
00:30They burned babies alive.
00:32And they took some 250 men, 251 women, men and children, hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.
00:41Today, the mastermind of this day of sheer evil is no more.
00:46Yitzhak Sinwar is dead.
00:48He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
00:53While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it's the beginning of the end.
00:58To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message.
01:01This war can end tomorrow.
01:04It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages.
01:09Hamas is holding 101 hostages in Gaza who are citizens of 23 countries.
01:14Citizens of Israel, but citizens of many other countries.
01:18Israel is committed to doing everything in our power to bring all of them home.
01:22And Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages.
01:28But to those who would harm our hostages, I have another message.
01:32Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice.
01:36I also have a message of hope to the peoples of the region.
01:40The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.
01:45Nasrallah is gone.
01:47His deputy Mohsen is gone.
01:49Haniyeh is gone.
01:50Def is gone.
01:51Sinwar is gone.
01:52The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people
01:56and on the peoples of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, this too will come to an end.
02:02All those who seek a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East
02:06should unite to build a better future.
02:09Together, we can push back the forces of darkness
02:12and create a future of light and hope for all of us.
