Jerusalem, July 29: Predicting a defeat for radical Islamists at the hands of ‘global information revolution’, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the Palestinian masses will one day topple the Hamas’ rule in Gaza.
“One day the Palestinians will topple Hamas’ rule in Gaza. If the Palestinians could, they would overthrow Hamas, and believe me, one day they will,” the Israeli premier said at the National Security Academy’s graduation ceremony here.
Warning against the possibility of radical Islamists obtaining nuclear weapons, in a veiled reference to Iranian nuclear programme that Israel has declared an ‘existential threat’, he predicted a defeat for such elements by progressive forces.
“Eventually, radical Islam will be defeated by the global information revolution, the freedom to spread ideas and with the help of technology,” he said.
“This won’t happen immediately, but it will happen. The only thing that could delay or disrupt radical Islam’s demise is the possibility that (radicals) will obtain nuclear arms,” the rightist leader emphasised.
