BI News,India : Ongoing war between Israel and Palestinians terror group Hamas is rapidly intensifying out of control. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived Tel Aviv for a solidarity visit. Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday thanked Blinken for United States’ support to the country in the war against terror group Hamas saying that his visit is a tangible example of America’s unequivocal support in the time where they should stand tall, proud and united against the sheer evil. Comparing Hamas with Islamic State, Netanyahu vowed to crush terror group soon. Syria says Israeli missiles hit Damascus, Aleppo airports. Local media outlets reported fresh attacks by Israeli forces on airports in Damascus and Aleppo.
“Thank you to the American people for your incredible support for Israel in our war against the barbarians of Hamas.” Netanyahu said in a joint statement after the meeting with Blinken in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv.
He further said that Hamas has shown itself to be an enemy of civilisation but the forces of civilisation will win over the sheer evil. “Antony, my friend. I say to you, I say to all of us. There will be many difficult days ahead. But I have no doubt that the forces of civilisation will win.”
Netanyahu compared the Hamas with ISIS and vowed that the terror group will be crushed just as the Islamic State. “Hamas is ISIS and just as ISIS was crushed, so too will Hamas be crushed. Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated.”
Blinken vowed on a visit that US will “always” back Israel but said the Palestinians also have “legitimate aspirations” not represented by Hamas. “You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself. But as long as America exists, you will never, ever have to. We will always be there by your side,” Blinken said in the joint statement.
