Washington:

Israel’s navy is performing “exceptionally well” in its offensive in opposition to Hamas within the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned Thursday, stressing Israel doesn’t plan to reoccupy the Palestinian territory.

“I think the Israeli army is performing exceptionally well,” he instructed Fox News, including: “We don’t seek to govern Gaza. We don’t seek to occupy it, but we seek to give it and us a better future.”
