00:00Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the ongoing war in Gaza can end tomorrow if
00:06Hamas fighters lay down their arms and return the 101 hostages of Israeli residents from
00:1123 countries, adding, the death of Yair Senguia, Hamas leader in Rafah is the beginning to
00:17ending the war in Gaza.
00:20Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed this in a video broadcast on Thursday while confirming the
00:25killing of Yair Senguia in Rafah by Israeli troops.
00:28Yair Senguia, according to the Prime Minister, is the one that masterminded the October 7,
00:342023 attack on Israel that led to the killing of 1,200 people and 251 taken hostage.
00:43Office of the Israeli Prime Minister in a statement on Thursday stated that the USA
00:48President Joe Biden has called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the evening of Thursday
00:54from Air Force One and congratulated him on the elimination of Yair Senguia.
00:59According to the statement, the USA President commended the Israel Defense Forces, IDF for
01:06its excellent operation.
01:07Both leaders agreed that there is an opportunity to advance the release of the hostages and
01:13that they would work together to achieve this objective.
01:16The statement reads in part, Benjamin Netanyahu in the video broadcast said that, Yair Senguia
01:24is dead.
01:25He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
01:31While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it's the beginning of the end.
01:36One year ago, Yair Senguia, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7 massacre
01:43against Israel.
01:45It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
01:49It was the worst attack on the Jewish state since the founding of Israel.
01:54Sin was terrorists murdered in cold blood 1,200 people, that's elderly people, Holocaust
02:01survivors, children, the brutally raped women, the beheaded men, the born babies alive, and
02:09the 251 women, men and children hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.
02:16Today, the mastermind of this day of sheer evil is no more.
02:20Yair Senguia is dead.
02:22He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
02:27While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it's the beginning of the end.
02:33To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message.
02:37This war can end tomorrow.
02:39It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages.
02:44Hamas is holding 101 hostages in Gaza, who are citizens of 23 countries, citizens of
02:51Israel, but citizens of many other countries.
02:56Israel is committed to doing everything in our power to bring all of them home.
03:01And Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages.
03:06But to those who would harm our hostages, I have another message.
03:11Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice.
03:14I also have a message of hope to the peoples of the region.
03:18The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.
03:23Nasrallah is gone.
03:25His deputy Wazir is gone.
03:27Haniyeh is gone.
03:29Daef is gone.
03:30Senguia is gone.
03:31The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people and on the peoples
03:36of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, this too will come to an end.
03:43All those who seek a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East should unite
03:48to build a better future.
03:50Together, we can push back the forces of darkness and create a future of light and hope for
03:56all of us.
03:58Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has always believed the unreleased hostages are
04:03kept by Yair Senguia.
04:05On May 27, 2024, Benjamin Netanyahu during a press conference at the Knesset stated that
04:13the repeated false claims that we are the obstacle are not only harmful to the families,
04:18that much is obvious, and I sympathize with them.
04:22But it goes beyond that.
04:24It delays the release of the hostages and undermines negotiations.
04:28Instead of focusing pressure on Senguia, who holds the hostages in his dungeons, the pressure
04:35is misdirected at the Israeli government.
04:38Israel is constantly asked to make concession after concession.
04:43So why would Senguia feel any pressure?
04:46He sits in his bunker, rubbing his hands in satisfaction, delighted that others are doing
04:52the work for him.
04:54The pressure should be directed at Hamas.
04:57We are taking action against them, fighting hard in the north, center, and south of the
05:03Gaza Strip.
05:04In Rafah, we have evacuated about 1 million civilians.
05:09Tragically, despite our immense efforts to avoid harming non-combatants, an incident
05:15occurred yesterday.
05:17We are investigating it thoroughly and will learn from it, as is our policy and longstanding
05:22conduct.
05:24For us, any non-combatant halt is a tragedy.
05:27For Hamas, it is a strategy.
05:30That is the core difference.
05:32The pressure, both international and domestic, on the Israeli government, which is doing
05:38everything possible to secure the hostages' release, only strengthens Senguia's resolve,
05:44leading him to demand terms that would endanger Israel's very existence, terms we cannot
05:50accept.
05:51Let me be clear, I will not yield or surrender.
05:55I will not end the war before achieving all our goals.
05:58Our fallen heroes will not have died in vain.
06:02If we surrender, the massacres, raves, and atrocities of October 7th will be repeated,
06:08just as Hamas has promised.
06:11If we surrender, we will not bring back all our hostages.
06:16If we surrender, we will deliver a great victory to terrorism, to Iran, and to the entire axis
06:22of evil, those who wish us dead.
06:26Those who say they cannot withstand the pressure should raise a black flag.
06:30No, they should wave a white flag and surrender.
06:34I will not.
06:35I will continue the fight until we raise the flag of victory.
06:40Meanwhile, Israel government had during the week reacted to the statement credited to
06:44the president of France over Israel war in Lebanon, saying, a reminder to the French
06:50president, it was not a UN decision that established the state of Israel but the victory that was
06:56achieved in the war of independence with the blood of our heroic fighters.
07:00Many of whom were Holocaust survivors, including from the Vichy regime in France.
07:06It would also be worthwhile to recall that in recent decades, the UN has approved hundreds
07:12of antisemitic decisions against the state of Israel, the purpose of which is to deny
07:17the one and only Jewish state's right to exist and its ability to defend itself.
07:23Also during the week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuted reports that the Israeli
07:28soldiers deliberately attacked United Nations peacekeepers base in Lebanon.
07:34The Prime Minister said, the charge that Israel deliberately attacked UNIFIL personnel
07:40is completely false.
07:42It's exactly the opposite.
07:44Israel repeatedly asked UNIFIL to get out of harm's way.
07:49It repeatedly asked them to temporarily leave the combat zone, which is right next to Israel's
07:55border with Lebanon.
07:57In fact, on the day that Israel began its ground operation next to our border with Lebanon,
08:03we asked them specifically, please leave this area so you're not harmed.
08:09Israel is not fighting UNIFIL.
08:12It's not fighting the people of Lebanon.
08:15It is fighting Iran's proxy Hezbollah, which uses Lebanese territory to attack Israel.
08:21Hezbollah attacked Israel last year without any provocation on October 8th, a day after
08:27the Hamas massacre, and it's continued to attack us ever since by launching over 10,000
08:33rockets and missiles at Israel.
08:36Hezbollah uses UNIFIL facilities and positions as cover while it attacks Israeli cities and
08:43communities.
08:44These attacks have claimed the lives of many Israelis, including yesterday.
08:49Israel has every right to defend itself against Hezbollah and will continue to do so.
08:55We regret any harm done to UNIFIL personnel and the IDF is doing its utmost to prevent
09:03such incidents.
09:04But the best way to assure the safety of UNIFIL personnel is for UNIFIL to heed Israel's
09:11request and to temporarily get out of harm's way.
09:15One year ago, Yitzhak Sinwar, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7th massacre
09:22against Israel.
09:24It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
09:28It was the worst attack on the Jewish state since the founding of Israel.
09:33Sinwar's terrorists murdered in cold blood 1,200 people.
09:38That's elderly people, Holocaust survivors, children.
09:42They brutally raped women.
09:43They beheaded men.
09:45They burned babies alive.
09:48And they took some 250 men, 251 women, men and children, hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.
09:56Today, the mastermind of this day of sheer evil is no more.
10:01Yitzhak Sinwar is dead.
10:04He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.
10:09While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it's the beginning of the war.
10:13It's the beginning of the end.
10:15To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message.
10:19This war can end tomorrow.
10:21It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages.
10:26Hamas is holding 101 hostages in Gaza who are citizens of 23 countries, citizens of
10:32Israel, but citizens of many other countries.
10:35Israel is committed to doing everything in our power to bring all of them home.
10:39And Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages.
10:44But to those who would harm our hostages, I have another message.
10:48Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice.
10:52I also have a message of hope to the peoples of the region.
10:56The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.
11:02Nasrallah is gone.
11:03His deputy Mohsen is gone.
11:05Haniyeh is gone.
11:06Def is gone.
11:07Sinwar is gone.
11:09The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people and on the peoples
11:14of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, this too will come to an end.
11:19All those who seek a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East should unite
11:23to build a better future.
11:25Together, we can push back the forces of darkness and create a future of light and hope for
11:32all of us.
