Israel does not plan to stop its offensive against Hamas

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, in response to the UN Security Council's adoption of a ceasefire resolution in Gaza, said that Israel will not stop its offensive against Hamas.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine regarding the X Minister of Defense of Israel Yoav Galant.

According to him, the state of Israel has a "moral obligation to continue the fight until its fighters are returned and the threat of Hamas is eliminated."

"The Security Council's decision has no operational significance for us, and in any case, we will continue to honor our friendly relations and always do what is right for Israel's security," Galant added.

He also noted that the relationship between Israel and the United States is "an anchor in Israel's security and foreign relations," and that direct dialogue with the U.S. administration is "an important asset" that should not be abandoned. He supported what the United States has made clear: the ceasefire will be maintained contingent on the return of the abductees.

Gallant also emphasized the need for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit the United States and hold a direct dialogue with President Biden and senior administration officials.

Let me guess. At most Israel will get another condemnation from the UN. And no more consequences.
