Benjamin Netanyahu
The former Texas representative and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate added that the Israeli prime minister does not exemplify the “true will of the Israeli people” or the “best interests” in the alliance between America and Israel.
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz hinted that he would seek major economic investment in Gaza’s civilian economy and infrastructure to stabilize the enclave, and respond to security challenges with far greater force than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has.
In an interview with Israel’s Channel 12 TV news, the Israeli premier said he would not dismantle a single Jewish settlement, and that he would annex parts of Judea and Samaria if he is re-elected on April 9.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is putting out a distress call: “If Likud voters don’t wake up, we’ll lose the election” • Targeting Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, he asks, “If this has been the hardest month of his life, how can he handle being prime minister?”
“We will be requested to pay; the Russians believe there are no free lunches,” said Micky Aharonson, former head of the foreign-relations directorate of the National Security Council in Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office.
“Our military, together with Syrian partners, established the place of his burial,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We are very pleased that at home they can give him the necessary military honors.”
He seems worried, even stressed—a description he prefers for his enemies. One night last week, the Israeli prime minister was sitting with his campaign advisers, including expert pollsters, and after an in-depth review of the polls, they concluded that the problem on the right was insouciance.
When asked how he felt in the face of constant attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “If I cared what people thought about me, I would have not been sitting here. A person cannot survive in politics, in business or in journalism if you are a slave to what people think about you.”
Moscow has also attempted to play the role of mediator between Israel and Iran, seeking to douse the shadow war raging between them on Syrian soil. Israel, for its part, is determined to disrupt Iran’s plan to turn Syria into a war front against it.
The Israeli prime minister has made it “unequivocally clear” to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the continuation of Israeli airstrikes in Syria against Iranian proxies such as Hezbollah.
“In the last 24 hours, the IDF destroyed major Hamas terrorist installations on a scale not seen since the end of the military operation in Gaza four years ago,” said the Israeli prime minister.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to withhold classified information from senior defense officials before he signed off on the German sale of submarines to Egypt does not warrant the reopening of Case 3000, said Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.
