Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (Likud) vowed that the IDF will continue operating in the Gaza Strip until Israel has achieved its objectives, rejecting foreign pressure to wrap up the war against Hamas.
In a tweet published Sunday to mark 100 days since the October 7th invasion of southwestern Israel, Gallant highlighted terrorist atrocities committed during the invasion, saying Israel will not allow the memory of the massacres to pass.
It’s been 100 days since Hamas launched a brutal attack on Israel – murdering, raping and torturing children, women, and men,” Gallant tweeted.

“It’s been 100 days since our loved ones were taken hostage to Gaza. We will not let the world forget.”
Echoing comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Saturday, Gallant pledged to continue the war against Hamas until the terror group “is defeated.”
“We will not leave them behind. And we will not stop until Hamas is defeated.”
“The IDF is fighting the most just war in our history. And while we face a brutal enemy, we continue maintaining moral and professional standards, taking measures to distinguish between the civilian population and terrorists. It’s been 100 days, yet we will not stop until we win.”
On Saturday, Prime Minister Netanyahu slammed South Africa’s genocide allegations and the ongoing war crimes proceedings at The Hague, insisting that neither would stop Israel from destroying Hamas.

“We will restore security to both the south and the north. Nobody will stop us – not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anybody else.”
“The hypocritical onslaught at The Hague against the state of the Jews that arose from the ashes of the Holocaust, at the behest of those who came to perpetrate another Holocaust against the Jews – is a moral low point in the history of nations.”
