Netanyahu says Israel will push on with Gaza offensive, including in Rafah

Netanyahu will continue the war until Hamas is obliterated. It will also be the last major action of his career. This terrorist attack and war has been a disaster for Israel. They have lost hundreds of young people killed in the attack and then as casualties in the fighting. Netanyahu will bear the blame for the intelligence failures that allowed the border penetration and the fact that Iran managed to transport large numbers of missiles and weapons though Egypt into Gaza without detection. He will lose the next election and be deposed.

Netanyahu is doing the right thing to go after Hamas. But Israel will not let him off the hook for what happened on 10/7. South Korea maintained an active watch on their border with North Korea for the past 70 years. Israel didn't take Hamas seriously in Gaza. And that's on Netanyahu.
