PM Netanyahu near the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu near the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip: “We control the territory and adhere to this line. We are doing everything in our power to achieve our goal – the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip will no longer pose a threat to Israel.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with Chief of Staff Major General Eyal Zamir, Southern Command Commander Major General Yaniv Azor, and 99th Bazek Division Commander Brigadier General Elad Zuri, visited an Israeli military post near the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip today (Wednesday).
The Prime Minister was briefed by the commanders on Israeli military activities in the Yellow Line area, operational missions in the sector, and efforts to eliminate threats and ensure the safety of the armed forces and the civilian population.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
“I am here in the Gaza Strip with the Chief of Staff, the Commander-in-Chief, and our heroic commanders and soldiers. We control this territory. You can see Ashkelon, you can see all our settlements from every direction: Sderot, Netivot, the kibbutzim.
We control this territory. We are not retreating. We are holding this line. We control 60% of the Gaza Strip and will continue to hold it because we eliminate the terrorists who threaten us and report on this every morning. Yesterday, we captured the leader of Hamas. We will likely learn some details.
But we are doing everything to achieve our goal—the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip will no longer pose a threat to Israel. This goal has essentially already been largely achieved, and there is still much to do—and we will do it.”
The Prime Minister was accompanied by the Chief of Staff, the head of the National Security Council, and his Military Secretary.

PM Netanyahu meets with reservists
“Immense heroism is demonstrated here. You gave everything and deserve everything.”

The Prime Minister listened to their personal stories, their experiences in combat, and their journeys and struggles since then.
At the end of the meeting, a group photo was taken, which will be part of the traveling exhibition in Israel and around the world, intended to spread their stories.
Eisenkot coalition
The coalition proposed by Eisenkot appears to have one primary goal: to oust Benjamin Netanyahu and the right-wing bloc by any means necessary. It is a coalition built on hostility and incitement. Hatred, revenge, and personal animosity cannot sustain a stable government.
With this constellation, Israel would face serious political, economic, and social strain. The country needs leaders with a clear national vision—not a coalition whose main objective is to fight. Such a government would likely put political revenge ahead of Israel’s national interests.
There are also serious questions about potential partners such as Yair Golan and Mansour Abbas. Their statements, positions, and conduct should be examined against the legal standards of Article 7A of the Basic Law. They have crossed a line. Abbas’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and his positions on Hamas and Palestinian national identity, should be subject to a binding review.
Eisenkot himself should be judged by his words, decisions, and political judgment. His hostility toward Netanyahu and the right raises a basic question: can he put Israel’s national interests above his political struggle?
Israel cannot afford a coalition united mainly by hatred of the sitting government. A government like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s is held together by principles, responsibility, and a plan for Israel’s security and future—not, like Eizenkot’s proposed coalition, by the desire to eliminate political opponent.
