Israel says war in Gaza will only end when 'objectives are achieved': Video
Israel is prepared to end its military operations in Gaza once its strategic objectives have been fully achieved, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has emphasised.
This was announced during an interaction with reporters in Jerusalem on Monday, November 11, 2024.
"We are ready to end the war in Gaza, but we will be able to do that when our objectives are achieved," Saar said in an AFP footage.
In addition to this revelation, Saar noted that it is so unfair that Israel is not allowed to fully exercise its rights of self-defence, citing legal proceedings at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ).
"This country (Israel) is attacked with an effort to deny its right to self-defence. I see the proceedings in the international legal forums, in the Hague, the ICC and the ICJ, as a part of this effort to deny Israel's right to self-defence," he explained.
However, in the case of a Lebanon ceasefire, the official hinted at "certain progress" in ensuring one with the United States of America.
"We are working with the Americans on the issue," Saar said in response to a question about a possible ceasefire in Lebanon.
