"We will not relent," he asserted, paying tribute to the "heroic soldiers" lost in recent days and extending condolences to their families on behalf of the government and the entire nation. "We will continue until we bring everyone home and until Hamas is completely defeated."

In his address, the Prime Minister extended special thanks to U.S. President Trump, describing him as "a great friend of the State of Israel." He expressed gratitude for the United States' support in defending Israel's skies and for President Trump's personal backing, mentioning a "very warm conversation" they had the previous night.
