Israel’s criminal defendant prime minister, more focused on saving his incompetent far-right government than saving the hostages who have spent seven months trapped in Gaza, is doing everything he can to torpedo Israel’s last and best chance at bringing the hostages home

“Hysteria for political reasons,” Minister Benny Gantz termed the statement issued over the weekend by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (also known as “the diplomatic official”), in which he reiterated that with or without a temporary pause in the fighting for the release of our hostages, “We will enter Rafah and eliminate the remaining Hamas battalions.”

Later, before the end of Shabbat, Netanyahu sent another announcement, in which he denied reports saying Israel had agreed to a cease-fire as part of a deal.

Netanyahu had hoped that the Egyptian proposal, which was more far-reaching than anything he had been willing to accept in the past, would be rejected by Hamas. Over the weekend, when the negotiations took a positive turn, Netanyahu found himself in distress, as was expressed by his flurry of statements. Given our familiarity with his family environment, including his pampered son on the front in Miami, his fright is indeed understandable.

          He was named by the BBC as a “key” source of verification for Hamas’s controversial death count in Gaza and has used his extensive media platforms to claim that Israel has used white phosphorous and targeted hospitals. He also alleged that amputations in Gaza were being carried out without anaesthetic and with washing-up liquid to clean wounds.

          All things that have now been fully proven to be true showing this is not a man that makes up false stories.

          Zionist newspapers with the quotation marks lmao.

          Also your article does not provide any evidence of antisemitism aside from claiming he praised a resistance fighter in the West Bank for shooting what appears to be a violent israeli colonist in the West Bank, while not mentioning the full story whatsoever. Palestinians defending themselves is super anti-Semitic.

          Only the IDF may be praised in Germany for Nazi’ing all over the West Bank and Gaza to expand their Lebensraum right?
