“This war is about exercising Israel’s right and obligation to self-defence, to defend its civilians. And those who do not want to see another war need to understand that in order to prevent another war, we need to win this war.

“We can’t have these people… people who take pleasure in killing at point blank, entire families… decapitate people; rape, torture and burn people alive… This terrorist if we do not win this war, if we are not able, if we are stopped from winning this war and totally eradicating their military capability, it would only exist and set a timer for another escalation, another war, more misery, more suffering,” she said.

She added, “I think all of us, we have had enough. It is time to free Gaza from Hamas.”

Hamas fighters breached the Gaza border with Israel on October 7, 2023, leading to a significant escalation of violence in the region. The ensuing conflict resulted in a substantial number of casualties, including the reported death of approximately 1,400 Israelis.

Israel's extensive bombardment of Gaza has led to the tragic loss of life among Palestinian civilians. It is estimated that, as of Friday, November 3, 2023, the conflict has claimed the lives of 8,500 Palestinian civilians, which includes over 3,500 children.
