JAKARTA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a proposal to change the name of the war launched after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 to the Survival War.

The conflict is currently named the 'Besar Kick.'

"This is a 'war of revival' to ensure that October 7 will never happen again," Netanyahu said on Monday, October 7, during a government meeting commemorating a one-year Hamas attack.

"This is a war for our existence," Netanyahu said.

He insists the war will not end until all of its goals are achieved, including destroying Hamas, saving hostages.

"Efforting future threats from Gaza and repatriating evacuated residents from the north returned to their homes," he added.

Hamas attacks a year ago were the worst atrocities against Jewish society since the Holocaust.

Netanyahu said it wasn't like during the Holocaust we bounced back against our enemies to fight fiercely.

opposition chairman Yair Lapid replied to the name proposed by the prime minister.

"You can change the name as much as you want, (but) you won't change the fact that under your supervision, the worst disaster in Israel's history has happened," Lapid wrote on Telegram.

This government is not a revival government, but a government that is to blame.

The Hostage Family Forum said in a statement there was no and there would be no revival without returning all the hostages.
