Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that no one will be able to stop his country in its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip until victory is achieved.

Netanyahu stated in a televised press conference, "No one will stop us - not The Hague, not the axis of evil, and not anyone else. It is possible and necessary that we continue until victory, and we will do so."

Meanwhile the Israeli army commander considered that the Israelis are fighting in Gaza “for their right to live in safety” and “they will never forget the Hamas attack” that sparked the war in the besieged Palestinian Strip.

"We do not forget and we will not forget, and we will continue to remind even those who try to deny it. We are fighting for our right to live here in safety," Herzi Halevy said in a televised statement.
