Second, there must be no weapon factories in Gaza. Third, arms smuggling into the area must be completely stopped. That is what disarmament means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that Israel would not allow any organization to threaten its national security again.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cIf they resist, chaos will follow\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Referring to U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s earlier remarks, Netanyahu warned that Hamas\u2019s refusal to disarm could spark catastrophic consequences. \u201cIf Hamas keeps its weapons, there will be chaos. But I still hope that won\u2019t happen. We are ready for peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu described lasting peace as \u201cthe greatest gift that could be given to the people of Israel, to the region, and to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cFreedom is not permanent unless protected\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When asked what it would take to officially declare the war over, Netanyahu underlined the importance of maintaining self-defense capabilities:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFreedom is neither permanent nor automatic. If free societies fail to defend themselves, they are overtaken by authoritarian regimes. Israel\u2019s security is the security of the free world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u201cMy duty is to protect the Jewish state\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Asked about Trump\u2019s previous remark describing him as \u201cnot an easy man,\u201d Netanyahu responded firmly:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assume he says that because I\u2019m tough when it comes to my country\u2019s future. When I believe something is right, I say yes. When I believe it\u2019s wrong, I say no. That\u2019s my job \u2014 to protect the Jewish state and ensure the future of the Jewish people.\u201d<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Israel Gaza Ceasefire | Netanyahu's Big Warning To Hamas Amid Gaza Truce\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qn9MnGd6JbM\" width=\"315\" height=\"576\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the ongoing ceasefire process in Gaza during an exclusive interview with CBS News.
