Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the intense phase of the war with Hamas in Gaza and Rafah is about to end.
“The war in its current stage is going to end in Rafah. This is true. We will continue mowing the grass later,” Netanyahu said.
The Israeli PM, however, vowed that Israel would continue operating in Gaza until the militant group Hamas was eliminated.
Netanyahu also said that after the end of the intense phase, Israel will have the possibility to shift some of the power north - to Israel’s northern border with Lebanon.
He was also asked in the interview if his solution to ending the conflict with Hezbollah was via agreement or war.
"Look, if there is an agreement, it will be an agreement according to our terms," Netanyahu said.
