This is a War Between the Forces of Light and Darkness, Humanity and Beastliness - Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a speech at the Knesset that Israel's ongoing war against terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip is a "struggle for existence against the forces of darkness." This was reported by timesofisrael.com.

"Even after 75 years, the war of independence is not over," Netanyahu said during the opening of the parliament's winter session.

"We will win because our existence is at stake here," he added, likening the Palestinian Hamas group to Nazi Germany and calling the conflict a "war between the forces of light and darkness, between humanity and beastliness."

The Israeli Prime Minister reaffirmed that their "goal is victory against Hamas, its downfall from power."
