The end result in Israel’s war against Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip is to free Gazans from a tyrannical regime and ensure the safety of the Jewish state, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Newsmax on Wednesday.

“We’re fighting to free Gaza from Hamas tyranny,” Netanyahu said during a special edition of “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE” from Jerusalem. “There are Gazans now [who] are fighting alongside us against Hamas, and they say, ‘free us, free us from this horrible terror dictatorship.’

“The end game is [for] Hamas to lay down its arms, to have Gaza demilitarized, which means you can’t smuggle in arms, you can’t manufacture arms. Third, to have overriding Israeli security control, get all the hostages out, and then have some transitional authorities, some peaceful governance that is not dominated by people who support terror, educate their children for terror or launch terror, and that’s where we’re going to go.”
