Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a released video that 'to complete the victory, defeat Hamas and free our hostages, we must not reach a state of starvation - both practically and politically, they simply won't support us.' According to him, 'We are going to take control of all areas of Gaza, that's what we are going to do.' He noted that the decision to allow aid into Gaza was made because 'we are rapidly approaching the red line, a situation where we could lose control and then everything falls apart.'
