In closed meeting with residents of Gaza border region, Min. Benny Gantz stresses hostages need to take priority, warns war against Hamas may last years.
ed note–again, ladies and Gentile-men, it is the ‘devil in the details’ that must be considered whenever something coming out of the mouth of Judea, Inc is being considered, and the message here is 2-fold–
1. That Israel intends to see the entire region engulfed in religious war–‘Juhad’–in making good on all of that ‘Nile to the Euphrates’ business and is forecasting that it may last as long as 20 years…
And–
2. That she intends to attack every country in the region as part of that ‘Juhad’ as outlined in this one singular statement from Gallant, to wit–
‘If we want to live in this region, every terrorist within a radius of hundreds of kilometers from the State of Israel must know that there is only one possible result following the type of attack that was committed…’
And what this means is as follows–
–When a ‘terrorist attack’ comes from Lebanon, Lebanon will be destroyed as Gaza was and then absorbed into ‘Greater Israel’…
–When a ‘terrorist attack’ comes from the West Bank, then the West Bank will be destroyed as Gaza was and then absorbed into ‘Greater Israel’…
–When a ‘terrorist attack’ comes from Jordan, then she too will be destroyed as Gaza was and then absorbed into ‘Greater Israel’…
–When a ‘terrorist attack’ comes from Syria, then she too will be destroyed as Gaza was and then absorbed into ‘Greater Israel’…
–And when a ‘terrorist attack’ comes from Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, etc, etc, etc, then THEY TOO will be destroyed as Gaza was and absorbed into ‘Greater Israel’…

Minister Benny Gantz (National Unity), a member of Israel’s War Cabinet, warned that the war against Hamas may take even a ‘generation’ to complete.
Speaking to representatives of the Otef Israel Forum, which represents over 2,000 residents of the Gaza border region, Gantz stressed that while Israel may be waging the war against Hamas for years, time is short for those held hostage in Gaza.
‘This war could last a year, ten years, or even an entire generation,’ Channel 12 News quoted Gantz as saying. ‘We have time to destroy Hamas.‘
‘A complete removal of the threat will take time,’ he added. ‘Hopefully there will be relative safety in the summer. We will soon reach Rafah.’
On Sunday night, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud) said, ‘As long as there are hostages still held in the Gaza strip, we have no right to stop looking for the women, the children, the soldiers who are there – we have to go all the way. And military action does not necessarily result in an operational outcome, but also in the fact that at the end there are those who are ready to talk to us.’
‘This is the difference between the situations years ago and the situation now – during negotiations we brought 110 hostages to Israeli territory, because the other side needed peace, they needed us to stop killing him, that the 11th Brigade and others stop harming them. We will intensify the [military] pressure and continue our efforts – it’s already happening now,’ the Defense Minister added.
He stressed, ‘This war cannot be ended with ‘points gained,’ it can only end with a ‘knockout.’ We must eliminate Hamas. If we want to live in this region, every terrorist within a radius of hundreds of kilometers from the State of Israel, must know that there is only one possible result following the type of attack that was committed – and in this case it is the elimination of Hamas’ military and governing capabilities.’
