(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Jerusalem on Sunday: "Within a year and some months, we decimated much of Hamas. We haven't finished the job, we will. Israel will destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities; Gaza will look differently." "We're in a position to change the Middle East and give Israel the kind of horizon, the kind of hope, the kind of security and the kind of peace that would have been unimaginable....The possibilities that loom today before us have never been before us before....Now, we intend to pursue them to the full. We see eye-to-eye with the U.S. administration." "President Trump has presented a bold new vision and the only plan that I think can work to enable a different future for the people of Gaza, for the people of Israel, for the surrounding areas. Why not give Gazans a choice?...Over the last two years, 150,000 Gazans left. You know how they left? Because they bribed their way out....Give them a choice, not forcible eviction, not ethnic cleansing. In a war zone people leave."
