Netanyahu tells the US lawmakers that "victory is in sight".
"Israel's defeat of Hamas will be a powerful blow to Iran's axis of terror," he continues.
He adds that Hezbollah, which operates in southern Lebanon and has been launching attacks nearly daily on Israel in the past nine months, is another member of that same Iranian "axis".
"Israel will do whatever we must do to return order to our northern border, and to return our people safely to our homes," he continues, threatening to crush Hezbollah.
