Netanyahu shows Bibas family photo at Israeli combat officer graduation

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a poignant address at a combat officers’ graduation ceremony, showcasing the tragic story of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir. Netanyahu implored the graduates to remember the faces of the Bibas family, emphasizing the importance of their fight against those who seek to annihilate them.

Netanyahu recounted how Shiri and her children were brutally murdered in the early days of the conflict, with their bodies returned to Israel by Hamas. The prime minister condemned Hamas for their actions, calling it a “brazen violation” of their agreement.

During his speech, Netanyahu expressed gratitude for President Donald Trump’s support, highlighting their shared vision for Gaza’s future. He praised Trump’s plan for a free exit for Gazans and the provision of vital weapons to Israel. Netanyahu also emphasized the importance of developing domestic weapon systems to strengthen their defense capabilities.

Netanyahu outlined his government’s objectives, stating that Israeli forces have significantly weakened Hamas in Gaza. He reiterated the goal of bringing all abductees home and dismantling Hamas’ combat capability in the region.

In light of these developments, Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, announced plans to return to the region to negotiate an extension of the ceasefire and hostage release deal. Phase Two of the agreement aims to prevent Hamas from returning to leadership in Gaza and initiate a long-term reconstruction plan for the region.

The ceremony concluded with a message of hope and resilience, underscoring the ongoing commitment to securing Israel’s existence and defeating their enemies. Netanyahu urged the graduating officers to uphold their mission with determination and courage.
