Netanyahu: There Is Unity among the People of Israel to Achieve Victory

(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told AIPAC leaders in Jerusalem on Monday: "The Iran terror axis...is behind everything that we're seeing here today. That is something that we all have to understand, that this is not just Israel's battle. It is a battle for our future, but it's also a battle for the victory of the Israel-America-moderate Arab axis against the Iran axis....This is a war of civilization against barbarism, those who want to bring back the Middle East to the Middle Ages." "The picture that is presented in the last few days and weeks in the United States is completely different....[In Israel,] you can go into any cab, go into a mall, walk down the street and talk to people. The great majority will tell you that they support...the goals that the government has set." "That's not the description you hear. The description is that you have an outlier prime minister with some extreme fringe groups, and that's what's driving the policy. False. I would say deliberately false. They know it's false. But that falsehood is perpetrated and it's wrong....There is unity among the people to achieve victory along the lines that I described. It is within reach and we're going to do it." "The idea that we are going to trap 1.2 million people [in Rafah], we're not going to let them go out, they're not going to leave, we don't have arrangements for them - that's not true....We're going to say: 'move here, move there' - to precise locations. That argument is fallacious. It's repeated over and over again. That doesn't make it true. We have now told the army...to enable the population to move, and also, quite concurrently, [to implement] a humanitarian plan."
