Netanyahu added in a graduation ceremony for officers in the Tel Aviv area: "We are ready to resume intensive fighting at any moment. In Gaza, we have eliminated most of the organized Hamas forces, but there is no doubt that we will achieve the goals of the war in full, whether through negotiations or by other means."
