JAKARTA - Israel must continue to fight until it reaches a "continuing and absolute" victory, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, stressing it was also what the Israeli soldiers who died in the war wanted.
Speaking in a special session to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Knesset (Israeli Parliament), PM Netanyahu said, "we have set the purpose of war and the goal exists and is real, to bring down Hamas power and bring home all of our hostages".
"Today our best sons are buried in Israeli land," he said, launching The Times of Israel January 24.
"We will continue to fight with the determination to defeat the cruel enemy and continue the national revival, so that it fulfills the wishes of our sons. Their wishes are very clear," said PM Netanyahu.
Israel has had its deadliest day since the war in Gaza broke out on October 7, when 24 of its troops died in a day, including 21 soldiers who died from rocket fire followed by the collapse of the building in Khan Younis earlier this week.

"There will never be compromise in matters relating to the guarantee of our existence and future from generation to generation," said PM Netanyahu.
"This is a war for our home. This must end with the eradication of new Nazi aggression and crimes. People who attack with rape and murder carry unprecedented destruction with their own hands," he concluded.
