Gantz said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must choose between "victory and disaster" as he issued the ultimatum.
Gantz said that to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians, Hamas cannot remain in Gaza and must be cleared from Rafah.
He acknowledged the harmful impact the war is having on civilians but insisted that “decisiveness” is needed.
