Prime Minister Netanyahu said Thursday evening that he faced intense pressure from within Israel and abroad to halt the war, and that his response was that Israel would fight on 'even with fingernails.' He spoke at a public event at IDF Base 1.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday evening that he faced 'heavy pressure from inside and outside' to end the ongoing war, and that his reply was that Israel would fight on 'even with fingernails.'
The remarks, delivered at a public event at IDF Base 1 (Bahad 1), come amid a period of public tension between Netanyahu and former President Donald Trump over the conduct and timeline of the war. The Zioneer has previously reported on a series of statements by Trump calling for a full ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon — a position Netanyahu's office has not publicly endorsed.
No further details on the nature of the pressure or the war's current status were provided in the Prime Minister's remarks, which were reported by Israeli media.
