Netanyahu’s right-hand man warns Iran to stay out of Israel’s war with Hamas or risk making a ‘big mistake’

Israel today issued a clear warning to Iran to stay away from its war against Hamas or risk making a “serious mistake”.

“Iran should listen carefully to what President Biden said,” Ophir Falk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-hand man, told MailOnline in a rare exclusive interview.

“They should not interfere in the war between Israel and Hamas. We are focused on destroying Hamas and we are also ready to confront any other front that I hope does not materialize.”

“The IDF is fully prepared and it would be the biggest mistake if anyone opened another front on Israel.”

Foreign policy adviser Falk said Israel welcomed support from London and Washington, but called hundreds of thousands of people participating in pro-Palestinian marches “ill-informed” about the savagery committed by Hamas.

“Iran should listen carefully to what President Biden said,” Ophir Falk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-hand man, told MailOnline in a rare exclusive interview.

“From what we can see, most of the protesters are misinformed,” he said.

“I don’t think if they knew that Hamas massacred over a thousand people and burned babies alive, they would be in favor of that. It is our duty to tell the truth to the world. Killing and assassinating Jews is not new for Hamas, it is part of its charter, its mode of operation.

“This is a jihadist/genocidal type organization that claims to want the Jewish people wiped off the face of the earth. I hope these protesters don’t want the same thing.

“We feel great support here in Israel from our allies for our mission to destroy Hamas’s infrastructure and military capabilities and free the hostages. Some countries have not openly expressed their support, but they will thank us all when we win.

He added: “It is very important to say that we appreciate the support received from the United States, the United Kingdom and many other allies around the world, not only from the leaders but also from the people – we do. greatly appreciate it. It is easy to support us when we are victims, but we appreciate that the UK also supports us when we are victors.

Asked about Israel’s plan for Gaza once it eliminates Hamas, he said: “There are a few plans that have been discussed internally and our partners have three common denominators.

“First, Gaza is demilitarized – there are no entities left in Gaza that threaten Israel’s security.

Second, it must be deradicalized, so that children do not learn to hate and mosques do not preach the murder of Jews.

Third, once these two events are achieved, the city will be rebuilt with the help of the international community and one day peace will be possible in Gaza.

He ignored international pressure on Israel for a ceasefire, saying: “Personally, I don’t feel it because we know that asking for a ceasefire is like asking for a ceasefire.” -fire with Al-Qaeda after September 11 or after the Battle of Britain.

“It’s unimaginable at this point. Most civilized countries know that this is a war between civilization and barbarism, and if we don’t win, the West will be next, whether it’s London, Paris or New York, but Israel will win, we we have no other choice.

When asked if the invasion and bombing of Gaza was only creating a new generation of radicalized terrorists, he replied: “The IDF and Israel are doing the right thing, even if our blood boils, we understand that, we let’s work with our minds, carefully calculating each step. .

“The Israeli army is fully prepared and it would be the biggest mistake if someone opened another front on Israel,” he said.

“The IDF is destroying Hamas as we speak and is making progress rarely seen in modern warfare. Terrorism can end, this happened in Sri Lanka, Peru and Japan, with ISIS, and even with the IRA, which is different: terrorist organizations are eradicated. Hamas will be destroyed. Hamas was created in 1987 and will disappear by 2024.’

He said the casualty figures released by the Hamas-run health ministry should be taken “with a pinch of salt,” but added: “Nevertheless, any civilian death is a tragedy. We don’t want civilian deaths, there shouldn’t be any. All civilian casualties are at the hands of Hamas.

“Israel has continually called and warned civilians in Gaza to stay out of harm’s way and Hamas has done its best to prevent civilians from entering the safe zones.

“Hamas held civilians at gunpoint and even went so far as to shoot Gaza civilians when they attempted to move south. We, Israel, have managed to bring hundreds of thousands of civilians to safe areas while killing Hamas terrorists every day. “The Israeli army has managed to kill thousands of terrorists and we intend to kill or capture every one of them.”

He insisted that the release of the hostages was one of two pillars of Israel’s war aims, the other being the eradication of Hamas.

“These missions are not necessarily mutually exclusive and can complement each other.

“Among the hostages are babies, children, women, elderly people and men of all nationalities. The only thing that has made rescuing the hostages easier so far is pressure from the IDF.

“Some countries, like Qatar, claim to have some influence over the release of the hostages, but we have not seen it yet. …Any country genuinely concerned about the lives of civilians should demand the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
