Israel has said that it won't carry out
0:02
a major ground offensive until it has
0:04
managed to evacuate civilians from Rafa
0:07
something which AG agencies have told us
0:09
they believe is impossible that they
0:11
simply don't have the means to deliver
0:13
Aid to them um and that would mean
0:15
displacing people uh who've already been
0:17
displaced several times again and they
0:19
said nowhere is safe to go but what you
0:21
heard there with Benjamin Netanyahu um
0:24
speaking out very strident saying that
0:26
even if there was a ceasefire deal
0:29
Israeli Tri would uh enter Rafa
0:32
eventually um because he said several
0:35
times that a total Victory against Hamas
0:38
is the aims at the aim of his War one of
0:41
them is also getting the hostages home
0:44
um so he's kind of repeating these these
0:47
uh remarks once again in very strident
0:49
fashion not giving in to the mounting
0:51
pressure from the International
0:52
Community to to pull back from uh this
0:55
talk of an invasion of Rafa or an
0:58
offensive on Rafa and I think it's
1:00
interesting there that this was a press
1:02
conference in Hebrew in front of Israeli
1:05
journalists and he's also playing to the
1:07
home crowd this was Netanyahu speaking
1:10
out to the Israeli people saying that um
1:13
we are going to act you've got to have
1:15
trust in us and you've got to have Unity
1:17
he spoke about that several times in the
1:19
press conference and there's been
1:20
mounting criticism of him um so he was
1:23
kind of in some would say perhaps
1:25
campaigning mode and there is a sense
1:27
here in Israel that after this war ends
1:29
he will have huge questions to answer if
1:31
not he will have to resign and so he's
1:34
there trying to Rally the Israeli people
1:36
around this cause and insisting that he
1:39
still is taking a hard line here in Gaza
