The PM also said that it is not just the battle of Israel but rather it the battle of the modern Arab countries, battle of western world, battle for a free world and battle for a secure future. Hamas supported by Iran stands on one side which wants to push the middle east to the middle ages. On the other side stands peace loving countries which want a peaceful and secure feature for Middle east.

Commenting on the acts of Hamas, the PM said that Hamas have held hostages which includes women, children, holocaust survivors and even foreigners.
