's vow to vanquish聽聽after claiming "victory" in last month's聽聽conflict vindicates聽's reluctance to relinquish more land to the Palestinians, Prime Minister聽聽said on Sunday.

, the leader of the Islamist聽聽movement, made a defiant speech before thousands of supporters in the聽聽Strip on Saturday, promising to take "inch-by-inch" all of modern-day聽, which he said he would never recognise.

"Over the last day, we have again been exposed to the true face of our enemies. They have no intention of compromising with us. They want to destroy our country," Netanyahu told his weekly cabinet meeting.

The Israeli leader has faced fierce foreign criticism this week for announcing a wave of Jewish settlement building in the occupied聽聽and East聽聽following a de-facto recognition by the U.N. General Assembly of a Palestinian state.

But Netanyahu said聽聽would never withdraw unilaterally from the聽聽as it had done from聽聽in 2005, arguing that this would risk creating another territory from which Palestinians could launch rockets at Israeli cities.

"I am always aghast at the delusions of others who are prepared to pursue this process and call it peace," he said.

"We want a true peace with our neighbours, but we will not close our eyes nor bury our heads in the sand," he said, adding that this required聽聽to "stand up to international pressure".

础濒迟丑辞耻驳丑听聽refuses to recognise聽聽or renounce violence, the Western-backed Palestinian President聽has said he is ready to make peace on the basis of the lines that existed before the 1967 war, when聽聽seized the West Bank, East聽聽and the聽.

Direct talks broke down in 2010 over the issue of settlement building and Abbas, who holds sway in the聽, has since called for reconciliation with聽, which ousted his own forces from聽聽in a 2007 civil war.

's 1988 founding charter calls for the destruction of聽聽and for recovering all mandate Palestine, although聽聽leaders have said in recent years the movement could live peacefully alongside聽聽if it wins a state on all land occupied in 1967. Various聽聽officials have at times indicated a willingness to negotiate a ceasefire, possibly decades long, with聽.

"What is interesting is that聽, of all people, did not condemn the () words calling for's destruction, just as previously he did not condemn the rockets fired at聽听(蹿谤辞尘听)," Netanyahu said.

"And to my regret he is working for unity with this same聽, which is supported by Iran."

聽is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its foundation this week, turning the event into a "victory" party following its eight-day conflict with聽聽last month in which some 170 Palestinians and six Israelis, mostly civilians, were killed.

聽not only killed the group's military mastermind during the fighting, but also says it destroyed long-range Gazan rocket arsenals and secured a ceasefire that put an end to indiscriminate attacks from the coastal enclave.

As a first-time premier in 1997, Netanyahu sent聽聽assassins to kill Meshaal, then a mid-level聽聽figure, in聽聽in reprisal for a wave of Palestinian suicide bombings. They botched the mission, and the ensuing recrimination from聽听蹿辞谤肠别诲听聽to free the jailed spiritual leader of聽. The episode helped propel Meshaal to the top ranks.

A cabinet minister from Netanyahu's rightist聽,听, said聽聽could again target Meshaal should聽聽not keep the Egyptian-brokered聽聽truce of Nov. 21.

"He said he wishes to die a martyr, and there is a high probability that this last wish would be realised, and he would become a legitimate target, should the quiet be violated," Katz told聽.

Meshaal is making his first visit to聽聽and is expected to return to聽聽on Monday. He lives between聽补苍诲听, and is the聽聽point person for all its foreign ties.
