Netanyahu said some Western allies are forgetting about the "monsters in Hamas" and insisting on holding elections in Israel that could lead to defeat. “These people are trying to force elections, although they understand perfectly well that they will paralyze the country for six months and lead to the cessation of the operation,” he noted.

Axios previously wrote that Netanyahu refused to commit to holding early elections in Israeli, thus he rejected the calls of Democratic Majority Leader in the US Senate Chuck Schumer.
