Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the AIPAC conference on March 12. The prime minister said, “To win this war, we must destroy the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah. If not, Hamas will regroup, rearm and reconquer Gaza and then we’re back to square one. And that’s an intolerable threat that we cannot accept.” He added, ” We will destroy Hamas, free our hostages and ensure that Gaza doesn’t ever pose a threat to Israel again.”
