The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has thanked the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, for conveying his support to Israel and has reiterated that Israel's victory over Hamas would be an achievement “for the entire world.”

Netanyahu held talks this Sunday with several Western leaders such as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, as well as with Sánchez, in which he spoke to them about the unity and determination of the Israeli people to “eliminate Hamas' military and governance capabilities.

Likewise, he thanked his counterparts for their support of Israel's right to defend itself against “the brutal terrorism of Hamas.”. Furthermore, he recalled that he will meet with Rutte and Macron on Tuesday.

In the telephone conversation between Netanyahu and Sánchez, the latter reiterated his condemnation of the Hamas attacks and his right to defend himself “within the limits of international and humanitarian law” although he asked for a “humanitarian ceasefire” and that help reach civilians in Gaza.
