Netanyahu: We are "a few weeks" away from "total victory" against Hamas

"The total victory is within our reach, not months away, but weeks away, when we will launch the operation. If we have an agreement (for a ceasefire), (the operation) will be delayed in some way, but it will happen. There is room for civilians to go north of Rafah, in the areas where we have finished the battles. We will achieve the progress we all seek if Hamas withdraws its unreasonable demands and brings them back to reasonable terms. We are all working for this agreement. We want it, I want it, because we want to free the remaining hostages, but I cannot tell you that we will succeed." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on the American CBS network.

Yesterday (25/2), the Israeli Prime Minister met with Israeli military officials who will present to him "this dual plan," a plan for evacuation (of civilians from Rafah) and a plan to neutralize the remaining forces of Hamas, according to his opinion.
