Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he has a key opportunity to “expand the circle of peace” in the Middle East and vowed to eliminate Hamas as he heads to Washington to meet with President Trump.
Before boarding the US-bound plane on Sunday, Netanyahu said he and Trump can secure big changes to the region — while also insisting that Israel will not agree to a cease-fire deal that includes Hamas’ continued existence in Gaza, the Times of Israel reported.
“We are determined to ensure that Gaza will no longer constitute a threat to Israel,” he told reporters. “That means, we will not allow a situation that encourages more kidnappings, more murders, more executions, more invasions.”
