Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to “save our country” Saturday in his first press conference since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack — casting the war in Gaza as an existential fight against “barbarians” for survival of the Jewish state.
“A state has two possibilities: to be or not to be,” he said. “This is our test, and we are going to win it … this is the mission of my life.”
“Our commanders and soldiers fighting in enemy territory know that the nation and the national leadership stand behind them,” he said — without declaring outright that Israeli ground forces had invaded.
His comments came as Israel Defense Forces continued what it called “expanded ground activity” within the Gaza Strip.
