Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday met with representatives of hostages' families and bereaved families from the Heroism and Hope Forum at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem.
Speaking to the Forum, Netanyahu said, "The idea that we will halt the war before achieving all of its goals is out of the question."
"We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there – with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory."
The Prime Minister also listened to the families' call to continue achieving the goals of the war and to withstand the international pressure.
Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that Netanyahu twice delayed the military operation in Rafah.
Netanyahu's office denied earlier, similar reports.
