In a speech at Police National Headquarters to tout the war, Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted the war dealt a decisive blow
to factions in the Gaza Strip, while insisting Israel is “prepared” to
start a new attack at any time.
Though Netanyahu originally couched the comment as a readiness to
retaliate if attacked, he later went on to suggest that Israel would
decide “when to act, against whom and in what fashion,” saying that the
ceasefire was good “for the moment.”
Defense Minister Ehud Barak seemed to take a similar position, saying
in comments today that Israel might get into another fight with Hamas
“in the near future,” while insisting the goals were all achieved.
Army Chief of Staff Benny Gantz also said that all of the objectives
of the war were already accomplished, which raises both the question of
what the goals actually were, and if they are all achieved why Netanyahu
is talking up another war just a day later.
