Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned those who held Israeli hostages that they were living on "borrowed time" during Monday's state remembrance ceremony at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. Marking three years since the October 7 Hamas massacre and the ensuing war, he said Israel was continuing to pursue the perpetrators and that Hamas would have no rule in Gaza. Netanyahu said Israel would keep striking Hezbollah in Lebanon while creating a chance for peace. He also said Israel would not allow the Tehran regime to threaten its existence, stressing that tasks still lay ahead.
