Gantz: We Will Need Months to Defeat Hamas, Especially if Hezbollah Joins the War

Israeli emergency government member Benny Gantz, a former defense minister, confirmed that his country will need months before it can defeat Hamas, especially if Hezbollah participates in the war, according to TASS news agency. He stated, "It will take a lot of time. The war in the south, and if necessary, in the north or anywhere else could take months. As for recovery and rebuilding, that will take years." He emphasized that "the goal is not only to defeat Hamas but to ensure that the south becomes a 100% paradise. After the war, and after our victory in all our battle fronts, we will dedicate ourselves to this recovery."
