Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday that Hamas, weakened by Israeli actions, may attempt to carry out attacks ahead of elections to influence their outcome. "Precisely because Hamas is so weak, it will try to challenge us with its remaining strength before the elections to try to influence them," Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting. He assured that Israel is prepared to thwart such attempts and would respond with "enormous force" if Hamas makes such a mistake. The Prime Minister also revealed that Israel has eliminated approximately 4,000 out of an estimated 6,000 Hamas operatives in the past three years, vowing, "None of them have immunity. We will reach them all, and Hamas rule in Gaza will be eradicated."

Netanyahu further asserted that Israel is now the strongest country in the Middle East and its enemies are weaker than ever. He discussed the recovery of Gaza border communities, noting that about 90% of residents have returned, with significant construction and rehabilitation underway, calling it a "victory of spirit over evil, a victory of Israel over its enemies." He stated a similar trend is occurring in the north of the country.

Concluding his remarks, Netanyahu addressed Israel's adversaries, warning them against attempting to exploit the election period. "I say to all our enemies: See what we did to you on seven fronts in the War of "Iron Swords." Do not mess with us," he declared.
