'We are not looking for bigger wars,' he added.
Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant meets soldiers in a field in southern Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip on Oct. 19, 2023.Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant believes his country has "no other choice" but to defend itself and that Hamas underestimated just how "tough and stubborn" the people of Israel are.
Hamas is a militant Palestinian Islamist group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union and others. It carried out an unprecedented incursion into Israel from the neighboring Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and taking over 200 others hostage, according to Israeli authorities.
"Secretary of Defense Austin told me that in the six years he was fighting ISIS, he never saw anything like it," Gallant said. "We share 100% of the values and 99% of the interests with the United States." The final phase will be what an Israeli official calls "the day after." Here their plans are less detailed other than a vision for Gaza without Hamas or Israel in charge.
